Oh, I may have misunderstood (because you were talking about “session”). You are talking about grouping within a single database?
I don’t think it is very useful (or worth it) to have an import group for all imported items in a session. It is probably more useful to use a smart group based on ~Date-Added, for instance containing all items added in the last day.
