  • Updated

Care Systems Cloud also offers the Native experience by integrating with your Windows Desktop, using the Microsoft RemoteApp feature.

Before you begin, make sure you have reset your username and password.

Create Desktop Shortcuts

  1. Download and Run https://downloads.caresystems.com.au/caresys-remoteapp.wcx
  2. Click Next.
  3. Enter your Care Systems Cloud Credentials when prompted for them.
    Your username should be in the form: caresys\firstname.surname
    Your password is 4 to 5 random words, this was generated when originally onboarded to the Cloud (space between each word)
    NOTE: Windows often defaults the username incorrectly, it is recommended that you choose the options to enter it manually.

  4. If it gives the option to Remember your Credentials, tick the box.
  5. Click OK.
  6. After a short period of time, you will see a message telling you it has successfully connected. Click Finish.
  7. You will now find the links to your environment in your Start Menu under Care Systems (RADC).
