Better display of what server you are connected to.

We have a large Spotfire setup. Our current environments count is as follows: 20 Devs, 4 UATs and 4 Productions. As such Developers and Administrators are likely to be logged to a number of environments at the time as they are constantly flipping between environments. There is however no visible information to the user on which server he is connected to. As far as we know there are two ways to find out what Server a user is connected to on the Professional client:

1) Point to the "online" word at the bottom left part of the status bar and a ballon popup dialog will display it.
2) Go to Help => Support and Diagnostics => Diagnostic Information.

Both of the above require some manual intervention and slow. This Enhancement Request is to permanently display the connected server URL into the Professional client bottom status bar next to where the word "online" is found. This will clearly indicate the environment name to the user without having to perform any further actions.

    That's a great idea Danilo. I really struggle to see why Tibco can't implement this idea. It is really trivial to do and it will be a quick win for developers.

    Would it be possible to have such information (connected user, ServerURL connected to) available as environment property so the user can use it in the dashboards (document property)?

Server Details should be shown on Footer

Merged
It would be very helpful if we display Server details on left hand side of the Footer (next to Status "Online/Offline"). Currently if we open multiple Spotfire instances then its becoming difficult to identify until we scroll Mouse and Hover Over ...
