Description

 

Remote Desktop Manager supports three description types:

 

Plain text description
RTF description
External URL description.

 

The description is displayed in bold on the dashboard

 

Plain Text Description (Basic)

 

This is the most basic description, and is simply a text without formatting.

RTF Description (Advanced)

 

The RTF (Rich Text Format) description offers more formatting options, and allows you to change:

 

Text color
Font size
Font style
Text alignment

 

You can also create lists (numbered and bullets).

RTF text description

 

External URL Description (Advanced)

 

The description may also be a link to a website (e.g. on a server in the Intranet). By using session variables ($SESSION_ID$, $SESSION_NAME$, etc.), the website can be generated on-the-fly as an HTML page, and its URL returned. This lets you integrate an external system or a custom application.
