There is definitely an ER already filed to look at doing this. Basically a case of us being conservative, not knowing what users would really want to do; most seem to want what you've requested, though. > Likewise when I >un-group a group, the Label for each probe gets reset to a default.

This sounds like a bug to me; it shouldn't be happening--if you put an existing device in a group, when you ungroup, it should go back to just the way it came. (If you've added a new device directly to a group, rather than creating it first and then grouping it, it will have the default label.) > >Here's another one.

Address is an obvious one, because everything in the probe group must have the same address. It is less clear that everything in the probe group should always have the same thresholds, although I'm listening if that's the overwhelming sentiment. However, you don't need to ungroup to set the threshold for a member probe. Raise the Info window for the probe group; it will have a list of the member probes. Right-click on the member probe whose threshold you want to set and choose Set Info->Set Threshold to set it. -- Christopher ================================= Christopher L.
