Panels

mRemoteNG is using tabs and panels to stay organized but also to create a better view of all multitasking that is being done inside the application.

Explanation

Panels are used to organize tabbed conections. This might seem a bit confusing at first glance but is a great way to stay organized. Below is a few examples of how to use panels to give you a hands on better view of them:

  • Test and Production - You can add 2 panels where you have test servers in one panel and production connections in the other
  • Datacenters - Maybe you want to divide panels into different datacenters
  • Temp project - To see all servers you work on for a temporary project
  • Home vs Work - Or divide them up into where home connections are and work connections are located

As you can see the panels organization do have benefits to it. Below you will see a screenshot of a organized view where Domain A is in panel 1 and Domain B is in panel 2.

The function of a panel works as a sort of workspace.
