Glenn Zanzitis here with Screen Connect, and today I want to show you a really cool new tool we have called the Filter Expression Editor, and it's a super easy way to create session groups. So what you do is, if you're in your access list here, you just scroll down to the Create Session Group button at the bottom, and what this does is it basically has type-ahead suggestions, it's going to check syntax for you, and provide inline results. So for the purpose of this quick little demo, we'll just create a group for machines that haven't checked in in 90 days. So offline for 90 plus days, we'll name it, and then as we start typing, as you can see, it's already showing you some inline results there, but we could do Guest Connected, and then there you go, Guest Connected Count, shows you at the very top of the list, and then it'll provide you with the proper syntax of what you can choose next. So I will choose Less Than, and then we can do 1, and then we will select And, start typing again, so Guest Info Update Time, that'll be a good one for this, and then we could do Less Than, there, and then Dollar Sign, find 90 days, there we go, tap, and there you go, that is that session group. So then you just come down here, create it, and as you can see, it's already dropping machines into that bucket for us. So just a really, really powerful tool to just kind of help you set up your environment. So I hope this was helpful, and stay tuned, please shoot me a like on this video, and even subscribe to my channel, because I'll be posting tons of cool tips and tricks like this. Alright, have a great day, bye bye.

TL;DR

  • ConnectWise ScreenConnect's Filter Expression Editor provides an intuitive interface for creating session groups with type-ahead suggestions, syntax checking, and real-time results display.
  • The tool enables administrators to quickly segment managed endpoints using multiple criteria, such as connection status and last check-in time, through a guided filter-building process.
  • The demonstration shows creating a session group for machines offline 90+ days by combining Guest Connected Count and Guest Info Update Time filters with logical operators.

Summary

This demonstration introduces the Filter Expression Editor in ConnectWise ScreenConnect, a new tool designed to simplify the creation of session groups for remote access management. The presenter walks through the practical application of creating a session group to identify machines that have been offline for 90 or more days. The editor features type-ahead suggestions that anticipate user input, real-time syntax validation to prevent errors, and inline results that display matching sessions as filters are built. The demonstration shows how to combine multiple criteria using logical operators, such as filtering for machines with no active guest connections and an update time exceeding 90 days. This functionality enables IT administrators and MSPs to quickly organize and segment their managed endpoints based on connection status, activity patterns, and other session attributes without requiring complex query syntax knowledge.
