Tarantella Administration Guide > Applications, documents and hosts > Document object

Document object

• Use a document object if you want to put a reference to a web page on a webtop.
• To create a document object use Object Manager or the tarantella object new_doc command.

• Name

Notes

• A document object can refer to any URL: not just HTML pages, but Microsoft Word documents, Adobe Acrobat files, or any other document available on the web. A document can also refer to a web application.
• Due to firewalls or other security mechanisms that may be in place, there may be some restrictions in the URLs a user can access from a particular location:
  • For users logging in to Tarantella using a web browser, the user's current client device fetches the URL.
  • For users logging in to Tarantella using the Tarantella Native Client, either the user's client device or the Tarantella server fetches the URL (users can configure which is used).
