Is there a Security Policy to Allow or Deny the Changing of Views in ControlUp Console
A user suggested a security policy to allow/deny changing views in ControlUp Console, which would have to be set on a per-user basis. It has been 6 years since views became global while the column order is still per user and stored in appdata XML. If a new view is created, everyone sees it, which might explain why our demo lab is "jam packed with them". The user tested that after moving OS to the left, closing the console, deleting the private config, and relaunching the console, OS was back to the right.

Missing the “Reconnect ” Option for RDP sessions in ControlUp RealTime DX
The discussion focused on the lack of a "reconnect" option in RealTime DX for managing Remote Desktop sessions when resolution changes occur. The team is currently exploring "Solve Actions" as an option, with additional Edge DX capability in the future. Customers are using Devolutions RDM and its "rdp file association" as a workaround for now. ControlUp RDX stands out as it allows for various credential sets and no additional tooling is needed. Reconnect option can be found when right-clicking on the machine instead of the tab. A tabbed RDP manager using the RealTime Console has many benefits, such as copy/paste of clipboard and files.

Another suggested option was a script to obtain the information; however, the user opted to use Citrix ADM since it includes historical data.
