Display

How the session is displayed. Embedded (tabbed) means that the remote 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 undocked display refers to the session window being detached from the main application. It allows you to move and resize the remote session window freely on your desktop.

• Linked (vault): Links to credentials available in the current shared vault.

• Inherited: Inheritance means that credentials will automatically be passed down from a higher-level entry to lower-level entries that inherit from it.

• My personal credentials: These credentials are not entry specific but are instead taken from the option under File – My account settings – Local credentials – My personal credentials.

• None: Remote Desktop Manager will not send credentials to the entry.
