what are sub-connections and how do they work

I've heard of them here and there in RDM, but I can't really find much mention of them in the RDM help documents.
Are there any screenshots of what these sub connections look like and what their use cases are?

they are bad and should not be used...


seriously they are stored within the parent connection and prevent the most advanced refactorings and inheritance features. They are deprecated and should not be used anymore.

you can achieve better workflows with variables and inheritance. On top of it you’ll have batch edits.

I don't quite understand.

What would be the best approach for the following use case.

I have a server that hosts multiple services.
I can access/manage it via the following
RDP, HTTP

Another Server managed via
RDP, VNC

Another Server managed via
SSH, HTTP, VMRC (vmware remote console)


For each of those uses cases, do I need to create a separate entry for each management type and have the same server listed 2, 3, 4+ times?
