More icons for entry symbols
0 vote
Hi,
when creating a new entry within RDM I have the chance to change the default image ("RDP" symbol, "VNC" symbol, "Earth Globe" for web entries, ...)
I would like to have some more symbols like a symbol for an access point (not the existing wireless router), switches, printers, server types (Active Directory Controller, Print Server, Database Server, SharePoint Server, ...) and perhaps some generic ones ("A", "B", "C", "1", "2", "3", square, triangle, circle or what you like).
This would be extremly helpful for Web-Connections to different Web-Management sites, so I can see from the symbol where I'm connecting to (or the server role).
And I would like to color them, currently only the symbols under the "Image" section have this feature. Symbols under the "Sessions" and "Data Entries" do not have this functionality.
PS:
Another correction (wish). The symbol for "Wireless Router" is within the Section "Data Entries". I think it would better fit under "Sessions".

Hi,
Thank you for your feedback.
RDM Windows drives the development of the application on all other platforms (Android, IOS, Mac and Linux), so we will check with them for the images.
We just have to keep in mind that there is an application size limit for which we have to be carefull on mobile devices.
Also, since we cannot add all possible images, RDM Windows lets you add your own custom images. This feature is not available on Android.
We think this feature could help many users and we plan to add it in the near future.
As for the "Wireless Router", everything under "Sessions" are actual sessions that can be opened. "Wireless Router" contains information and cannot be opened. This is why we feel it should not be in the "Sessions" section". Data Entries" will be renamed to "Information". We think this name will be more appropriate for this section's content.

Hello,
We are working on adding more images. Just to confirm you want 0 to 9 and A to Z?

Hello David,
no, I don't insist on symbols with 0 to 9 or A to Z (nevertheless some characters would be meaningful [for different locations/customers/environments (proc,test,dev)/etc.).
They were only samples.
My wish was only to get more icons.
This could be new symbols for other devices or functional systems (DB-/Web-/SharePoint-/Exchange-/DMZ-/Amazon-/Hyper-V/VMware-/Docker/...-Server), different colored symbols for existing ones, new graphical symbols like circles, squares, triangles [in different colors, too (?)].
Only more, any kind. Different colored ones would be a simple solution.

Markus
Thank you for the information. RDM 2021.1 will have more images:

Hello David,
the symbols look good.
What is the Google symbol in the right lower corner for?
Does they mean, that the symbols can change their color?
Hi,
The Google symbol do not mean anything. They will not appear in the image selection.
To change the image color, you first select the image that you want and at the bottom of the screen you will be able select a different color.
