Colors and Icons:
Create Visual Cues.
Colors:
Each object in Royal TS can have its own color. Just click the color button on the far right of the Display Name box and select the color you want. Optionally you can configure Royal TS to show custom colors in the Navigation tree, the tabs or in the connection area. Use custom colors to make production systems distinguishable from test systems or to distinguish different customers.
Icons:
Folders and Connections can have their own icon as well. Click the icon button next to the Display Name box to configure a custom icon.
Connection Templates:
Convenient, versatile and one of the most helpful features to improve your workflow.
What are Templates?
Templates are special connections which can be used to create new connections based on other connections. You can make use of replacement tokens to inject values from the selected connection(s) into the resulting connection.
Versatile:
Use templates to open an iLO Web Page connection based on a selected Remote Desktop connection, for example. It's easy to share templates with your team by just placing them into a shared document.
Built-In Task Automation:
Send keystrokes to one or more remote sessions.
Key Sequence Tasks:
Use them to send keyboard input to remote sessions. Automate repetitive tasks and executed them against multiple sessions at once.
Special Keys and Replacement Tokens:
You not only can create your own "keyboard macro" with the new key sequence task, you can even instruct Royal TS to send special keys (like TAB or ENTER) as well as resolve replacement tokens from the connection (such as credential information, custom field values, etc.).
Not only for Terminal connections:
Key sequence tasks can be used in other connection types like Web Page and Remote Desktop connections as well.
