SETTINGSDESCRIPTION
NameThe name of the RDP entry.
FolderThe folder of the RDP entry. A folder can be added by clicking the arrow or the three dots to open the folder window. To create a new folder, select the plus icon.
DisplayHow the RDP entry is displayed. Embedded (tabbed) means that the remote desktop connection is open within the same window as the other tabs or entries. Each connection has its own tab, making it easy to switch between them. An external display indicates that the remote desktop connection is open in a separate window or a different application altogether. This approach is useful when you want to view the remote session in a dedicated window, separate from the main application. An undocked display refers to the remote desktop connection being detached from the main window, similar to an external display. It allows you to move and resize the remote session window freely on your desktop.
HostCustom lets you select the host. Linked (Vault) indicates that the host for the RDP entry is linked to an external vault. Inherited is used when the host is inherited from a higher-level or parent entry.
