Address book
An address book is a collection of records also called connections with each connection representing a remote PC. Connections have properties that define specific characteristics of a remote session, such as the destination address, access password, color depth and so on. Connections can be grouped into folders.
By default, address books are backed up daily. You can also enable local address book encryption in which case you'll need to enter your password each time you open the Viewer.
The Send Message mode allows you to send a plain text message to a single remote computer or broadcast to multiple remote computers. The message will be immediately displayed on the remote computer's screen.
