_RNK_ thank you for getting back to us on this one.

I honestly, am just making suggestions on what I see. If there is a better way to use the program the way it is, I Really hope you can fill me in on this, because right now, Group/folder/container view really doesn't apply to the way the program is working.

Here is how I saw it at first.
I create a Group/folder that is the site for all of the connections.
then I create a folder for all the computers at that site, and one for all the networking, and one for all the servers, and one for all the devices. etc.. etc..

Then for each of the servers, I create a session (RDP/VNC.... whatever I use to get to that system).

1000 devices into it.. we started running into issues, and confusion about how to organize, and what the options were for organizing.

For example.

When I create a Folder/Group... I have the option to make a computer "folder" and a server "folder" and a site "folder".... Great that sort of makes sense.

So I create a "Site" (which is actually an object under Group/Folder when creating a new entry).
Now what do I do??
Do I create a group/folder for all of the servers....
and then create a Group/folder of type Server for one of the servers... and within that place my RDP connection, VNC connection, pc Anywhere connection and Telnet connection???
In this case, my tree view ends up with quite a lot of "group/folders" that only have one thing in them, so why not just skip the group folder and go with the session.

Or do I create a Server Group/folder within which I place an RDP connection, and then under than RDP connection create Subconnections for VNC/pc anywhere and telnet???
and if this is the case which to you use as the parent connection... do you standardize as say RDP is parent, or do you use the connection type you most use, which would leave each server different...

The issue is, and I don't want to sound like you don't know what I am talking about... because with 300 session you most likely do...
The issue is when you have around 1000 sessions (and adding more everyday)... you Desperately search for the simplest, quickest, most standardized way of organizing your sessions.....
which I am having troubles finding in this program.

Hence the reason I asked How the program was intended to be used.... what was the subconnection, and how am I to use it..
If As you said, I use it for only when referencing the parent variables are needed, then we run into the whole issue of which parent session do I choose... the most used one... or a standard one...

I guess my brain just doesn't understand.
