Jump Desktop for Teams Dashboard Updates: Features Geared for Administrators

We've made several updates to the Jump Desktop for Teams dashboard:

  • Enhanced Visibility: Obtain information about every computer and user at a glance. With customizable columns for Users and Computers, retrieve the specifics you need without navigating deeper. The dashboard retains your preferred settings, ensuring consistent visibility tailored to your needs.
  • Advanced Grouping and Filtering: Tailor each column using filters or groupings. This enables you to view your data precisely as you want. 
  • Data Export: After configuring your desired views, export your data in formats such as CSV, JSON, Excel, or PDF. This feature is particularly beneficial for generating reports.
  • Inline Details for Computers and Users: Clicking on a user or computer in the list immediately presents an inline view of their detailed profile. This helps maintain your position within the list, negating the need for constant back-and-forth navigation. Those with expansive monitor space can place this inline view anywhere on the screen.
  • Bulk Actions: Efficiently manage multiple devices or users in one go, reducing repetitive tasks.
  • Activity and Connection Logs Export: While there's an API available for retrieving this data, we understand the need for manual exports at times. Hence, we've integrated export buttons directly into the activity and connection logs for your convenience.

With these improvements, you can now effortlessly manage your data, making your workflow more efficient and insightful than ever before. 


Watermarking in Jump Desktop for Teams

Jump Desktop for Team includes an easy-to-use watermarking feature that enhances the security and compliance of your remote desktop sessions. This feature allows administrators to embed watermarks directly into the remote desktop window. These watermarks can display connection-specific information such as IP address, email, or user name.

Virtual Displays

Virtual Displays for Fluid lets you extend your remote session beyond the physical limits of your host's displays. You can now create up to 4 virtual displays during a remote session (see below for limitations). 

Virtual displays support arbitrary resolutions and can match your local display layout perfectly. This is perfect for working with multiple monitors without having to worry about how many monitors are attached to the remote host. Virtual Monitors also support Retina mode for extra clarity! 

To get started: 

Connect to your machine, click Displays -> Virtual Monitor and select the number of virtual displays to use. Once virtual displays are engaged Jump will replace the host's physical monitors with virtual monitors. You can resize virtual monitors by simply resizing your local Jump Desktop windows.

Requirements:

Virtual Monitor support currently works when connecting from a Mac or Windows to a Windows 10 or macOS 10.14+ machine. A Teams Enterprise subscription is required to enable 2 or more virtual monitors.

On Premise Relay Server

Starting with Jump Desktop Connect 6.7.42 you can run on-premise, high availability relay servers. Relay servers allow you to control how Jump Desktop traffic is routed through your infrastructure and isolate traffic to a specific host. All traffic is run through a specific set of UDP ports so you can control exactally what goes in and out and apply proper QoS if needed. You can use on-premise relay servers for better performance and increased security.

To get started, see the On-Premise Relay documentation.



Displays In Seperate Windows for Fluid

Jump Desktop for Windows now supports running remote displays in separate windows! This lets you breakout your remote displays into their own window locally so that you can utilize multiple screens. 

Each window can be placed any where locally and even maximized. Jump will remember your window placement for each connection. 

To get started, connect to a machine with multiple displays and then click View -> Displays In Separate Windows.
