Description

 

Remote Desktop Manager provides two types of session:

 

 

Please note that some sessions will not support both modes. It depends on the integration and the availability of the third party application.

 

External Mode

 

External mode session are opened as an external process, with no direct link to Remote Desktop Manager.

 

This mode usually launches the native application. For example, the native application for RDP is mstsc.exe. Typically, it's also possible to choose the destination monitor. Also, depending on the type of session, an external mode session view will be updated if Remote Desktop Manager can detect that its running.

 

Embedded/Tabbed Mode

 

An embedded session runs within the confines of the Remote Desktop Manager window, and displays tabs at the top of the window. This mode centralizes the opened session in the application, which makes it easy to switch from one to another.

There are several session-specific actions available by right clicking (Context Menu) on the title of the tab.

 

You can also show the session footer (description, information, log, attachment and details) at the bottom of the screen, and capture a screenshot of the content.

Embedded/Tabbed Mode - Undocked

 

While the embedded mode is useful in some cases, you may prefer to move the content in an external window. If so, this can be easily done using the context menu. Remote Desktop Manager will create a new window to contain the tabbed session, and will  allow you to move it anywhere else (i.e. on another screen ).

 

To dock the content back to its original place, use the context menu by right clicking on the window icon.
