Connect for iPads

The Secure Access service also allows you to set up and use Connect on your iPad.

The Secure Access service can be ordered through the Service Catalogue using the Secure Access Service option.

These instructions should work for most users, but you may experience compatibility issues with other applications on your device, or when the Citrix application that is used to access Connect is updated.

Using

When Hantsnet launches you will notice a bar along the top of the screen which you can pull down. This has functions to help you use Hantsnet on your iPad.

Home

Return to the iPad home screen - only use this option when you are ready to log out of Connect. You will not be able to return to your Hantsnet session.

At any other time, if you need to use your tablet while logged into Hantsnet, use your iPad's home screen button, then click on the Citrix Workspace app when you want to return to Hantsnet.

Pair

This function allows you to easily pair your iPad with a bluetooth device, such as a keyboard.

Arrow Keys

Up and down arrows - move up and down a screen.

Right & left arrows - move through any screens you have open.

Keyboard

Bring up a keyboard to use whenever you want (you may sometimes find that when you click on a field in Hantsnet the iPad keyboard does not automatically appear). 

This keyboard also has some functionality which is additional to the standard iPad keyboard such as Ctrl, Alt and Tab keys.

Pointer

Instead of using the usual touch functionality of your iPad, you can select to change to a cursor, which in this case comes in the shape of a pointer.

Click on Pointer to activate it then use your finger on the iPad screen to move the Pointer to the area of the screen where you want to click or select. Click on the button again when you want to stop using this option.

Magnifier

This is useful when you need to click on a specific area of the screen but it is very small.

Click on Magnifier to activate it, then move it to an area on the screen with your finger - the area will be enlarged allowing you to click on it more easily. Click on the button again when you want to stop using this option.

Mouse option

A mouse will appear on the screen when you select this option.

You can drag the mouse around the screen and use the left and right buttons in exactly the same way as you would a normal mouse. You can also double tap the mouse to zoom in and out.

Switch

This button is inactive.

Log off

Log out of Hantsnet in your normal way.

When you are returned to the HantsConnect screen, click on Log Off.
