Create Custom Group of Assets

An asset group lets you logically organize your computers and users into a group. All Computers, All User Accounts, and All User Profiles are the default groups for computers, users, and user profiles respectively, and always appear on top on the objects list.

Create an asset group in the following manner:

Follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to Console, Computers and Users, New Group.

    The New Group wizard appears.

  2. On the Identification details tab, specify the details like Name, Description, Parent Group.
  3. Select the assets such as computers and users into one of the following groups:
    Static Groups

    Contains members that are manually added to or removed from the group.

    Dynamic Groups

    Contains members that are dynamically added or removed based on the query result. Dynamic groups are based on a query.

  4. In the actions panel, click Add Members, use filters, select members from the select items page, and click Next.
  5. Determine Security Permissions for the group members and Click Next.
  6. Verify the details on Summary and click Finish.

    A new asset group is created. You can add, edit, and remove the members to the groups.
