Need folder help in CI Pro

I just got my new P30 and am learning C1 Pro daily. I'm mainly shooting editorial for magazines and shoot tethered almost always. My problem is do I have to create a new session for every photo shoot, or can I create different folders within a session if all are for same magazine? Hope this makes sense!

Cheers,

  Although you can add folders to an existing session my suggestion would be to create a new session for each job you shoot for you client. This will allow you to organize your jobs better and also keep things runing a fast as possible on your computer.
  
  You may want to consider making a master folder or directory for every client and then storing all their sessions in there so you always know where to go looking for a particulat job.
  
  Hope this helps

  I agree... 1 photoshot = 1 session... the only way to go...

  I usually set up a different folder for each shot of a job. Say we shoot five shots in a day that are all under the same job, I would make new folders for each shot under the same master session which I usually name with the client and the date.
  
  If you control-click in the white space under the Organize tool where it says "Drop Folders Here" you can create new folders and then set them as the Capture folders.

  Thanks for all the tips, I'm trying to sort it out. Today I shot 2 editorials for the same magazine and just created a new session for each shoot. This seemed to work fine. Also, just learned the batch processing secret command + D, that took a few to find out how to do it!!!
  Loving this software!!!
