Split Description from URL
0 vote
When adding a new entry it is currently only possible to select between "Text" and URL.
Actually it would be really helpful to allow the usage of both fields, as the information is stored anyway. On Dashboard view both fields could be displayed for the entry if available.
This would allow us to quickly see notes for the entry AND click on the link to open the browser (by the way, any way to open the URL in the default browser outside of RDM?).

Hello,
Depending on the data source that you are using, I think the best way of keeping information's on your sessions would be to use the Documentation feature.
https://help.remotedesktopmanager.com/commands_documentation.htm
That being said, what type of data source are you using?

data source is KeePass export, where notes field AND URL is used, which then gets merged by import function of RDM and then has to be modified manually (which is not ideal as we have 2000+ entries... :-)).
Hello,
It would be possible to do such change through a Powershell Script.
I would suggest that you use a Batch Edit to achieve this (Select affected sessions, Right Click -> Edit -> Edit Special Actions, and choose Custom PowerShell Command.
The process is described here: https://help.remotedesktopmanager.com/batch_actions.htm
And some useful tips and tricks here : https://help.remotedesktopmanager.com/index.html?powershell_batchactionssamples.htm
The part mentioning Clipboard - Copy will be very handy.
We highly recommend that you backup your database prior to do this, since a mistake on several entries can turn really bad
Let us know if we can provide additional help.

Hello,
we also tried to import almost 2000 entries from keepass kbdx (exported to xml) to RDM. All Keepass URL fields was merged with Notes field and in RDM appear under credential description just as last line. Maybe we could modify anything in XML before importing, to match fields correctly? Or is it any other automated way to move out last line in the description to url field?
p.s. please find attachment with explanation of the problem.
Mazvydas.
and this is how it looks in kbdx xml:
<String>
<Key>Notes</Key>
<Value>perdiegta i Hyper-V</Value>
</String>
<String>
<Key>Password</Key>
<Value ProtectInMemory="True">********</Value>
</String>
<String>
<Key>Title</Key>
<Value>Dell ESXI 5.5</Value>
</String>
<String>
<Key>URL</Key>
<Value>http://192.168.15.233</Value>
</String>
<String>
<Key>UserName</Key>
<Value>root</Value>
</String>
Hello,
If you import your KeePass entry by selecting Website in the wizard, is this importing the sessions properly?

Thank you very much, now all URL fields was imported correctly! Part of our entries should be converted RDP Sessions. Could you assist, if it is possible to change entry type to RDP session from Website entry?
Hello,
To my knowledge, it's plausible that converting WebSite Entries to RDP is not possible as is.
However, Using Powershell Scripts you could Create new session based on the existing ones...
You can take a look here for all the supported Powershell cmdlet of our powershell module : https://help.remotedesktopmanager.com/index.html?powershell_cmdlets.htm
