# Folders and dynamic variables

Store shared connection information in a Folder entry and retrieve it with dynamic variables in child entries in Remote Desktop Manager.

In Remote Desktop Manager, you can use ***Folder*** entries to organize your sessions in the application. You can store information at the top-level folder and use variables in child entries to retrieve information saved in the parent folder.

1. Create a folder entry by clicking ***Add entry*** – ***Folder***.
2. Enter the information in the folder properties. Only include a password if you want to put password protection on the folder.
3. In the child entries, use the appropriate variables to retrieve the information that is saved at the folder level (e.g., `$COMPUTER_NAMES$`, `$COMPUTER_HOSTS$`, `$USERNAMES$`, `$DOMAINS$`, `$PASSWORDS$`).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/knowledge-base/how-to-articles/multiple-types-connections/folders-and-dynamic-variables.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
