If you were given a link to the organization's RDWEB workplace, you will have downloaded an .rdp file which can be imported into the Microsoft Remote Desktop app you just downloaded.
To import an RDP file:
- Open the app
- In the menu bar, select File > Import.
- Browse to the RDP file.

The connection will then be available to use.
