RDSM settings as parameter

Hello,

Do you have more information on your setup? Are you using our powershell module, or do you want something within RDM itself? Are you specifically looking to check the value for the web browser mode?

It would help to know more about what you're trying to achieve here, as there may be alternatives already, and if not, it will help us better design a solution.

Also, there's the concept of variables which you can read more about here, it lets you use values of certain fields in other fields, though I'm not sure if that's exactly what you're asking for here.

Regards,

Hi Hubert,

Thanks for your response. I use several external scripts that are executing several steps, including opening a browser and running a macro, all external. I only use the session information from RDM. I already use different variables. At this point, users set their browser in RDM for regular sessions and have to the fields in different sessions to be able to set the browser they favorite.

It would be nice if we could keep it within a single locations; the RDM Settings.

At the moment do you extract this information from RDM through the powershell module? We could improve the module to support getting this information more easily, which would help fetching this information for the scripting.

Please let me know if this would work for you, if it does, we'll open a ticket to work on this.

I'm using several scripts in Powershell, Batch and AutoHotKey. So if I can just send a parameter, that would work best for me.

For example, I currently use the $DESCRIPTION$ field:

Run:

"\\UNC\Scripts\Application.exe"

Arguments:

url.com "$USERNAME$" <...several other parameters...> "$DESCRIPTION$"

Description content:

UserA: Edge

UserB: Chrome

My .exe loops through the Description parameter and sets the correct browser for the corresponding Windows user.

Ah, thank you, I understand what you mean much better. Maybe we could see about expanding the variable functionality to get any field's value. We support this in the Powershell batch edit feature in RDM (with the syntax $RDM.Connection.<Field>), so it may be something to consider here. I'll open a ticket on our side.
