Organise Your Servers with Bookmarks
The Bookmarks feature in Aireforge Studio is designed to streamline your workflow by allowing you to save groups of servers for quick access. It's a convenient tool when working across large estates, enabling you to quickly reconnect to your preferred servers without manually selecting them every time.
How Bookmarks Help You
Do you often find yourself juggling multiple environments�development, staging, production and wasting time reconnecting to the same sets of servers? Whether you're working with development servers or all SQL 2016 servers, manually selecting them repeatedly can get tedious.
That's where Bookmarks come in.
With just a few clicks, you can save any selection of servers and load them instantly when you return to your work. This feature makes working with large or complex environments faster, helping you focus on the task at hand without the admin overhead.
Why It's Useful
- Time-saving: Reduce the need for manual server selection, especially when you regularly work with the same servers or environments.
- Consistency: Ensure you're always connected to the correct server group, whether it's dev, test, or production, with no risk of human error in server selection.
- Flexibility: Create bookmarks for any custom group of servers, whether grouped by environment, SQL Server version, or any other factor that fits your workflow.
How It Works
- Create a Bookmark: Select your servers, open the Bookmarks menu, and save them with a custom name.
- Use a Bookmark: Whenever you need that group of servers again, select the bookmark from the menu, and the server group will be loaded instantly.
- Manage Your Bookmarks: You can rename or delete bookmarks easily, keeping your list organised and relevant.
Ideal Use Cases
- Multiple environments: Quickly switch between server groups based on their environment (e.g., development, staging, production).
- Server version grouping: Save all your SQL 2016 or SQL 2019 servers into one bookmark for quicker access during upgrades or performance checks.
- Project-based bookmarks: Group servers related to specific projects or clients, allowing for seamless transitions as you work on different tasks.
No Hassle, All Convenience
The Bookmarks feature might not be the star of the show, but it's a quality-of-life addition that can make working with Aireforge Studio smoother and more efficient. Saving time in server selection means you get to spend more time solving the actual problems at hand.
