Managing Sessions
Sessions can be useful if you wish to create a different friendly view of devices on the network.
A default session is being saved or updated every time you exit the application. PortVision DX
opens the same default session at the next start up. The default session name is
PVPDefSes.pxs and is located in the Program Files/Comtrol/PortVision DX subdirectory if you
installed PortVision DX in the default location.
You can use folders to organize the devices, which allows you to display a network organized by
meaningful labels or allow different people to open different sessions designed for their needs.
