Version 12.x and Later

Your application Administrator will create workgroup server connection definitions that are available for you to use. In many cases, you will only work with default connections, but in some cases you may have additional instances to select from. Perform the following to add additional workgroup server connections:

1. On the Workspace window, click the button located at the top right of the screen. 
   
2. The Connect To WGS dialog box appears. Select the workgroup server that you want to connect to.
3. Use the Search field to quickly find specific connections by name if the list is large.

When Display Selected Connections (Ignore Filter) is enabled, selected workgroup server connections remain visible, even if they do not match the text entered in the Search field.

4. After selecting your desired connections, click Save.

5. You are returned to the Workspace window, where each WGS connection is displayed in its own widget, showing both connection details and associated nodes.

6. Each widget displays the active node list in green and the inactive node list in red.

7. Hover over the donut chart inside a widget to see the list of node types and their statuses.
