Using Folders

You can use the Manage menu and Add New... Folder option to create folders in the Device
Tree
pane and display the contents of the selected folder in the Device List pane.

Folders are displayed first numerically and then alphabetically. The number of devices (managed
or unmanaged) in a folder are displayed in brackets after the folder name and the number of
devices online.

You can use a device as a folder and layer switches or devices under it.

If you want to customize folder names for a specific audience, you may want to

create multiple

sessions
