This academic year, there is a change to the way staff and students access software at Sheffield Hallam. Some applications are available from the new Sheffield Hallam AppHub. This allows you to launch applications as you need them instead of everything being installed on the managed desktop.
What are the benefits?
Using AppHub allows us to offer a greater range of software in more teaching rooms across the University and frees up computer space to optimise performance. It also provides greater security and makes updating and applying patches to fix issues a quicker and more efficient process
How will I use it?
AppHub is accessible from a shortcut on the PC Managed desktop. Not all software will be in the AppHub – some will be installed in the traditional way and available from the start menu. When you first log in, a pop up will remind you that some software is now in AppHub. Once you’ve opened AppHub, you will need to search for the software you want and then click the green button to the right to launch it. This video shows instructions.
