Tabbed interface like RDM

You really need to enable a tabbed interface management control console like Remote Desktop Management (RDM). It is a real pain to manage multiple external windows at once. Alternatively, I guess a connectwise-written extension that would allow the embedded sessions would work. The current extension supposedly allows RDM to handle SC sessions, but only as external, which I can already do without RDM.


We use RDM for RDP sessions and being able to have a dozen connections accessible by changing tabs is INVALUABLE.

Multiple sessions are tabs in the same window

We regularly have multiple sessions open and keeping track ofg the different sessions windows can become cumbersome. It would be much more convenient if there was just one session window with a tab for each individual session.

Add a mini-dashboard to top or side of active host sessions

A competitor has a really nice feature that allows you to see all of your active host sessions in a dashboard.  This is helpful when connected to multiple PCs at the same time.

We're another migrant from Teamviewer. This tabbed feature would help us move and stay with CW. As it is, we need to open multiple windows and keep them from taking over the screen :(

Tabs would be perfect.

CW please give some indication of progress on this feature request!

I agree with Kyle. Currently in transition from Teamviewer to Connectwise. When will this issue get addressed?

To give you a honest response based off of other requests. 2 years from now it will change back to under review and then 2 years from them it will change to roadmapped. 

But in all honesty, I wouldn't get my hopes up until it's made it's way to roadmapped. They've been considering this feature for over 2 years now.

Would love to see this. Used Teamviewer before Control, and while I find Control better in almost every way, the ability to have a tabbed window for your remote sessions was incredibly useful when you have numerous connections opened simultaneously.

That's way to clumsy compared to set up as you would have to set that up on every PC you log in to and install Chrome.  GoToAssist. See below as GoToAssist has multiple ACTIVE screens at the top that actually show you the activity on the screen; albeit very small.  It's very helpful when running long processes or remote upgrades on PC's.  You can see all activity on all your active screens at the same time.

What you could do here is then open "My Sessions" and in Chrome, use More Tools to "Add to desktop" (with 'Open as a Window' ticked).


Then open the icon from the desktop, and size the way you want it.


"Always On Top" (https://www.labnol.org/software/tutorials/keep-window-always-on-top/5213/) can then be used to keep it on top of all other Windows, if you so wish.


Once set up, it isn't as clumsy as it sounds.
