The Rhino Element Manager has the following main functional areas:

Tip More detailed instructions for each area can be found in the built-in help in REM.

REM Management

Rhino instances

REM can monitor and manage multiple Rhino instances at once.

The instances can be:

  • different versions (as long as listed as a supported version in the REM documentation)

  • local or remote (as long as they are accessible by the REM server)

To manage Rhino instances in REM, select Edit Rhino Instances from the home page.

Note You must be logged in as a REM user that is assigned a role with the REM Feature: Edit Rhino Instances permission.

To manage REM users and roles, select Edit Element Manager Users and Roles from the home page.
