Adding a Server to the Multi-view Server List

You use the Add to SiteScope Server List form to add or update connection information for remote SiteScope servers. SiteScope communicates with other remote SiteScopes via HTTP or optionally by HTTPS.

Use the following steps to complete the Add to SiteScope Server list form and add a remote SiteScope server to the SiteScope Multi-view Panel:

To add a SiteScope server to the Multi-view Server list

Choose the Edit Multi-view Panel link in the lower portion of the Multi-view Panel. The Servers in Multi-view page is displayed.
Choose the Add to Multi-view Panel link. The Add to SiteScope Server list is displayed.
Enter the address of the remote SiteScope server in the Server Address box. For example, demo.sitescope.com:8888. Omit the http: prefix and any slashes.
Enter an optional text description to be displayed for this server instance in the Multi-view panel.
If access to the remote SiteScope server requires authentication, complete the additional options on the Add to SiteScope Server list form as described below.
Press the Add to Multi-view Panel button to record the changes and update the SiteScoep server list.

The newly added server will be listed last in the server table and will appear on the Multi-view panel the next time the screen refreshes.
