Manage computer list

The computer list is your view of the virtual LAN. You can add any computer of your LAN to this list and organize according to your preference. You will always have the same list regardless where you sign in from. Each user will have his/her separate list.

Initially you will an empty computer list after signing in for the very first time (like the left picture below). To add a computer, you can choose the menu "Computers | Add a computer", and then select the computer and category in the dialog. Once complete, your computer list will be updated (see the right picture below).

You can use categories to help manage a long list of computers. To create a category, you can choose menu "Computers | Create a category". To move a computer to a different category, you can simply drag and drop.

Remote access

In the computer list, two different icons Image:NetworkExplorerComputerOnlineIcon.JPG and Image:NetworkExplorerComputerOfflineIcon.JPG are used to represent online and offline computers respectively.

If you click on a computer in the list, a popup dialog will display a list of actions you can take to remotely control and access this computer. If a computer is online, the following actions are supported:
