IBM Lotus Sametime 7.5.1 Release Notes
z Nested groups are stored using the following format "<group>::<subgroup>". For example the Work
subgroup "sametime team" is stored as "Work::sametime team" in pre-7.5.
Sametime 7.5 Sametime pre-7.5
In this example the Sametime team subgroup's subgroup "developers" is stored as "Work::sametime
team::developers" in pre-7.5.
Sametime 7.5 Sametime pre-7.5
z
In case users happen to assign group names that are seperated by two semi-colons, the 7.5.x client
will not import them as nested groups unless the parent group implied by the naming happen to exist.
In this manner a user can even create nested groups for 7.5.x using the pre-7.5 client. For example,
using a pre-7.5 client, creating the groups "test" and "test::subgroup" will result in a new group "test"
and a new subroup of test called "subgroup" in 7.5.x.
