Group Objects

The group object contains all parameters for a group of PCs and is located at the second level of the tree. Create group objects when you want to assign parameter values for the group that are different than the default values. Generally, create the group first and add the PC objects to it. Then, modify the necessary parameter values for the group.

To create a group object

1. Select the default object.
2. Right-click the default object and select Add Group from the shortcut menu.

To administer a computer group

1. Select the group object in the left pane
2. Right-click the group object and select one of the following options from the shortcut menu:

   Delete Group

   Deletes a group object from the second level of the tree.

   Add PC

   Creates a PC object in the third level of the tree.

   Create parameter product

   Passes the client parameters as an SXP product in the product archive.

   Important! Each computer that you create can belong to only one group.

To administer parameters for a group

1. Select the group object in the left pane.
2. Select a specific parameter in the right pane.
3. Right-click this parameter and select one of the following options from the shortcut menu.

   Edit parameter

   Modifies the parameter value within the defined range of values. The values also apply for lower level PCs, if you have not set a different value for this parameter.

   Create parameter product

   Passes the client parameters as an SXP product in the product archive.

Group-specific values take precedence over default values, and computer-specific values take precedence over both default values and group-specific values.
