Remote Viewer Layouts

You can save your currently active user interface layout and restore it later as needed.

For general information about layouts, see the section Layouts.

In Remote Viewer, a layout also contains connection information: which session on which host belongs to a specific window. When you load a layout in Remote Viewer, the application tries to restore the connection to the Automation Point Desktop that was connected at the time the layout was saved. Loading an empty layout closes all currently open connections.

Remote Viewer layouts are separate from Automation Point Desktop layouts; if you use both applications on the same machine, they cannot share layouts.

Security Notes:

• For connections to remote Automation Point Desktop hosts, username and password authentication may be required by the remote session. You are prompted a username and password when preparing a layout by opening the connections.
• Saving a layout does not store any usernames or passwords. However to facilitate quick loading, logon sets are stored that keep information about which sessions used the same username and password to connect to a specific host. When loading a layout, you are prompted for username and password for only one session from a given logon set. This logon information is then reused for all sessions that had the same username and password when they were saved. If the supplied username or password is not valid, you are prompted to re-enter them. If you choose to cancel at this point, no further sessions from that logon set are loaded.
