Table 14‑8. Filter Modifiers for Client-Interpreted Settings
Modifier Description
Default (d in the registry
setting)
If a Horizon Client filter policy setting does not exist, Horizon Client uses the View Agent
filter policy setting.
If a Horizon Client filter policy setting exists, Horizon Client applies that policy setting and
ignores the View Agent filter policy setting.
Override (o in the
registry setting)
Horizon Client uses the View Agent filter policy setting instead of any equivalent
Horizon Client filter policy setting.
View Agent does not apply the filter policy settings for client-interpreted settings on its side of the
connection.
The following table shows examples of how Horizon Client processes the settings for Allow Smart Cards
when you specify different filter modifiers.

If you set the Disable Remote Configuration Download policy to true, Horizon Client ignores any filter
policy settings that it receives from View Agent.
View Agent always applies the filter policy settings in agent-enforceable settings on its side of the
connection even if you configure Horizon Client to use a different filter policy setting or disable
Horizon Client from downloading filter policy settings from View Agent. Horizon Client does not report
that View Agent is blocking a device from being forwarded.
Precedence of Settings
Horizon Client evaluates the filter policy settings according to an order of precedence. A filter policy setting
that excludes a matching device from being redirected takes precedence over the equivalent filter policy
setting that includes the device. If Horizon Client does not encounter a filter policy setting to exclude a
device, Horizon Client allows the device to be redirected unless you have set the Exclude All Devices
policy to true. However, if you have configured a filter policy setting on View Agent to exclude the device,
the desktop or application blocks any attempt to redirect the device to it.
Horizon Client evaluates the filter policy settings in order of precedence, taking into account the
Horizon Client settings and the View Agent settings together with the modifier values that you apply to the
View Agent settings. The following list shows the order of precedence, with item 1 having the highest
precedence.
1 Exclude Path
2 Include Path
3 Exclude Vid/Pid Device
4 Include Vid/Pid Device
5 Exclude Device Family
6 Include Device Family
