File Affiliation

File Affiliation is a distinct setting within the Dell Hybrid Client, in which you can restrict the user's ability to access files depending on the mode that is active. Use Wyse Management Suite to configure the File Affiliation settings. This feature is applicable to both device policy groups and user policy groups.

• Cloud mode—In the Cloud mode, the client shows applications that are supported by Cloud services.
• Local mode—In the Local mode, the client shows the local applications that are installed and configured using Wyse Management Suite.
• VDI mode—In the VDI mode, the client shows VDI-published applications.
  NOTE:File Affiliation is not supported for Azure Virtual Desktop, Imprivata connections.

In the offline mode, the system shows the tools and applications that operate on the cached files. On the same device, you can configure different modes for different users using User Policy Groups.

You can enable one of the following modes using Wyse Management Suite:

• Cloud
• Cloud + Local
• VDI
• VDI + Local
• Cloud + VDI + Local

The Open with function is supported. This feature enables end-users to open a file in Dell File Explorer as per configuration that is set from Wyse Management Suite for file affiliation. See, Using Dell File Explorer.
