I had an idea that I was going to create a Hosts group and inside that hosts group list each of my lab servers various hypervisor hosts (ESXi, Hyper-V, XenServer). My plan was then to use the subconnections feature to have the VMs running on each of those hosts listed below the hypervisor host. This works fine. This is a nice way of organizing things so I can visually tell which host/hypervisor a VM is running on. The downside of this approach is that you need to know which hypervisor host a given VM is running on in order to launch a connection when using the systray icon right-click method. My thought on a way to fix this was to create shortcuts for each subconnection and list them directly under the main group. I can't seem to find a way to do this. Is there a way to use subconnections and shortcuts together? Or maybe a better way of organizing items to fit what I'm trying to do?
Thanks.

I may have found an acceptable workaround for this. Rather than use subconnections, I just created a folder for each hypervisor host. Inside that folder I'm adding the host hypervisor entry and it's corresponding VMs, then I'm creating shortcuts for the VMs to appear at the root group folder. Seems to work fine.

Hi,
That's why you can now create different kind of group. I think you have the right workaround. Also you can select a group and Save as Template.
You will be able to recreate the same structure next time.
