not possible to add a document entry as a sub connection

Hello,
it the past it was possible to add a document entry (pdf, doc) as a sub connection (to a server connection).
we used it to attach server documentation directly under the server rdp.
looks like the possivility has been removed :-(

any idea/explanation?
Rgds,
Alexander

Hello,
Our architecture was not designed for this and this was causing many issues. Unfortunately it should had been removed from the beginning. We plan to eventually redesign how our sub connections work and eventually we might be able to support the document as a sub connection.

For now, we recommend to use the attachment feature instead. Sorry about that.

Indeed, you better use the SQLite (local data source) database than the MDB. The Access database will eventually become unsupported.

we use mdb as our team data source :-(
if mdb maybe will be unsupported, how can we migrate all our entries? to which team data source?

Hello,

If you want to work in a team environment, we recommend using what we called an Advanced Data Source like SQL Server, SQL Azure or Devolutions Password Server as example. The entire list of our supported advanced data sources can be find here

Regarding the data transfer, I would recommend following the steps in this help article
