Templates

Templates are useful to have predefined values when creating an entry in Remote Desktop Manager. Use templates to:

• Add preconfigured entries.
• Use with the Quick connect feature.
• Open entries as a template.
• Create password policies.

To access and manage templates, navigate to File – Templates.

It is possible to create local and database templates.

• Local templates are saved in the Remote Desktop Manager configuration file. They are available only to the current user of the machine.
• Database templates are saved in the database. They are available to all users of the workspace.

By default, standard users cannot create or manage templates. To allow users to create or manage templates, the permission must be granted to users using the Administration – Templates section of the system permissions.

Windows

Availability

When creating or editing a template, its availability can be specified in the Template settings.

Usage

Templates can be used in the following cases:

Create an entry

By default, when creating an entry of a type that has templates configured for, the user is prompted for a template to use. This behavior can be modified in the System Settings.

The template can be selected before creating the entry as well. Use the Template section of the Add new entry window.

Run a Quick connect session

Templates can be used with the Quick connect feature. For example, the same template can be used to connect to different hosts.
