How to Deploy a Workstation (Optional)
When you have first added a workstation, it will automatically be enabled. The green icon will indicate that it is online.
To start an existing workstation, you can find the ‘Start’ button on the workstation card.
Once enabled, you can connect to this workstation using the ‘Connect’ button on the workstation card, and you can copy the IP address to connect to the workstation or you can download an RDP file.
You can find the Stop button on the workstation card to deallocate your workstation.
It will flash red as it deallocates the workstation.
Once it has completed, you will see the pause symbol in the red icon.
