The company's HDX policies must apply to a pooled virtual desktop environment without affecting any virtual applications.How should an architect apply the HDX policies?

SmartAccess filters are used for controlling resource access based on contextual information like user location or device, not for differentiating policy application between virtual desktops and applications.

A delivery group type policy filter in Citrix allows an architect to scope policies to specific delivery groups based on their configuration, such as those providing pooled virtual desktops. By applying the HDX policies only to the delivery groups serving these desktops, virtual applications running in other delivery groups or within the same environment remain unaffected.

While policy priority helps resolve conflicts when multiple policies apply, it does not prevent a policy from being applied to an unintended resource type if its scope is too broad; a filter is required to precisely target the policy.
