Prevent screen connect pop up on all Mac OS X versions

techguy2016 8 years ago updated by anonymous 8 years ago 2

This is something we really need for ScreenConnect. We'd like the ability to surpress pop ups informing users that agents have connected to their machine for remote administration purposes.

Hello,

In 6.1, we've added support for ShowBalloonOnConnect to be disabled via the app.config file for the Java client. 6.1 beta release will be available this month.

Provide a way to invite a "Guest Host" to a session

Michael Francis 8 years ago updated by anonymous 8 years ago 2

It would be great if I could invite a guest who doesn't have a permanent account, to be able to join a session as another host.


The scenario is when I am supporting an end user and I may need to bring in a manufacture or additional support vendor into the mix. With the link or temp login credentials I give them, they can provide the same level of functionality support.


If I could create a one-time use link or login on the fly that this person could only access the active session I request them to join, it would allow me to provide this functionality. These accounts should give full access as if they were a host, however, they are limited in that they couldn't add more guest hosts or modify\end the session. It would be tied to the actual host that the session is owned, in a limited way.


Maybe another option along with that is after they disconnect, the account can be setup to never work again or give the option to allow to reconnect as long as that session remains active.


There are only two ways that I kind of do this today: 1. Use the meeting function, but doesn't provide the proper environment from a support perspective. 2. Create a vendor/guest account, but restrict all their permissions down to nothing. This is not easily and would require additional management and can't be done on the fly.

Hello Michael, I believe the "Get Host Pass" feature that came with the 5.6 release would take care of your needs here.

Let me know if this helps.

Sort session groups via installed programs.

Jacob Burns 8 years ago updated by anonymous 8 years ago 1

I noticed that one is able to generate an xml of the currently installed programs on a workstation. I would think it would be universally helpful if one were to sort their clients via these installed programs much like the GuestMachineOS variable. Something along the lines of "GuestInstalledProgram Name LIKE 'JavaX updateXX' OR GuestInstalledProgram = 'Microsoft .Net Framework 4.1' "

This can be done in the extension: Remote System Diagnostics.

This is not currently in the core product, but may be in the future.

Color scheme for time line

Richard S 8 years ago updated by anonymous 7 years ago 3

The default timeline colors make it difficult to see. A different color would make it more visible, but the only option is to change the view for all users. It should be an option for each user to customize the color schemes used. A darker scheme is more visible, but the names of the users are black on black, which defeats the visibility of the timeline.

Answer
anonymous 7 years ago

Hi Richard,

In the latest update of the Custom Theme Manager, you can change the color of the Timeline. The only requirement is to be on 6.0+.

Add simple open http ability to trigger methods

Ebonweaver 8 years ago updated by swhite (Product Manager) 1 year ago 3

Right now the http method on a trigger is overly complex and actually very limited when thinking about the most simple application. The idea would be that based upon a simple evaluation of keywords in the chat message the client sends (assuming an unconnected session of course), a trigger could respond by opening a webpage or simply spitting back a url in the text chat they can click on. You could then set up a series of triggers evaluating for certain keywords that would point clients to various KB articles in a support site. This allows a self service situation before the tech even needs to get involved, wrapped into the same support tool.

add ability to share only a selected application during a meeting .

TekSigns 8 years ago updated by anonymous 8 years ago 5

add ability to share only a selected application during a meeting .

Answer
anonymous 8 years ago

When you start out with one application you can change it to another anytime during the meeting by clicking the "Change Sharing" option in the sidebar. Take a look at "Conducting your meeting" Section here: https://help.screenconnect.com/ScreenConnect_Remote_Meeting_Guide

You can also switch to fullscreen just by a right-click on the gray area at the top of a host client and then selecting "Maximize". https://help.screenconnect.com/Additional_client_right-click_features

Add event for chat to make email trigger usable

Ebonweaver 8 years ago updated by anonymous 8 years ago 6

Right now the built in trigger to send an email if a client sends a chat message when there is no connection is not usable. The idea is clearly that a user could initiate a support request by sending this chat message, which would be forwarded to a support email alerting the team that x user on y system said something and needed attention. However, the parameters do not include any sort of logic for if a tech IS talking to the person WITHOUT a desktop connection. The result is, if a tech is just using text chat to help and is not opening a desktop session, EVERY message the user sends goes to the support email just spamming it with junk. So, the idea is great, but the execution is pretty useless and has to be removed. If there was some way to add a parameter for "and also no tech has sent a message to this client in the last 5 minutes" this would be usable and a great feature.

Answer
anonymous 8 years ago

The extension was intended to send out an email right after the auto response. We are working to get this fixed and updated. This shouldn't be long, but we apologize for any inconvenience.
