AppsAnywhere

What is AppsAnywhere?

AppsAnywhere is QMUL's software service that allows students to access university applications from their own computer, wherever they are.

Using AppsAnywhere, you can:

• Access approved QMUL software without being on campus.
• Use applications through the Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) environment.
• Access the QMplus Archive to view content from previous academic years.
• Review older module materials and resources when they are available to you.

Why Might I Need This?

When the QMplus Archive is opened through AppsAnywhere, it launches in a restricted browser window. This can make it difficult to:

• Open multiple tabs.
• View content from different modules at the same time.
• Compare archived materials side-by-side.
• Navigate between pages in the way you would normally expect in a web browser.

If you need to work with several archive pages at once, the workaround below may help.

Workaround: Open Additional Browser Windows

Step 1

Open AppsAnywhere and launch Microsoft Edge within the Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) environment.

Step 2

Launch the QMplus Archive through AppsAnywhere as normal.

Step 3

Enter Full Screen mode.

Step 4

Press Ctrl + N on your keyboard.

This should open a new Microsoft Edge window within the virtual desktop.

Step 5

In the new window, navigate to:

https://archive.qmplus.qmul.ac.uk/

Step 6

You can now:

• Open additional tabs or windows.
• Arrange windows side-by-side.
• Navigate more easily between archive pages.

Step 7

Once you have opened the windows you need, you can exit Full Screen mode if preferred.
