Associate tabs with connections
Tab coloring allows you to associate tabs with connections by setting colors for SQL servers and databases that can be assigned to a specific environment for the user. dbForge Event Profiler for SQL Server helps label individual servers and databases with specific color codes. The tool highlights tabs and status bars of documents.
Coloring for servers
With dbForge Event Profiler, you can set a color for the server. For example, this can help you distinguish between testing and production servers. You can assign a color to a server based on the environment you want to associate it with Development, Production, Sandbox, Test, or None.
Coloring for databases
To configure tab coloring options, go to Tools > Options. In the Options dialog that opens, navigate to Environment > Categories.
Under Environment Categories, you can associate servers and databases with the required environments:
- Click
New Color Match to set a new environment category. - Click
Delete Color Match to remove the environment category.
Under Category Settings, you can add, remove, and modify environments, as well as assign shapes and colors to them using the following options:
- The default environments are Development, Production, Sandbox, and Test. You can modify them according to your requirements.
- Click New Category to create a new environment category.
- Click Delete Category to remove the environment category.
- Use the wildcard character (*) to substitute one or more characters in the names of servers and/or databases. The bare asterisk in the Server and Database fields means that the environment category will be assigned to any server or database.
To apply the changes, click OK.
As a result, all tabs are labeled with the corresponding colors.
