Groups

The administrator can create a custom group structure to organize managed items in CA Performance Center. Groups act like filters to make reported data more useful. Custom groups let you view the items that you must monitor in an organized structure.

Groups determine the data that you see in dashboards when you log in. The group that is applied as a filter to the current dashboard is the group context for that dashboard. When you first log in to CA Performance Center, the pages you see reflect the context of your default permission group.

You can change the default group for your own user account so that data from another group is reflected in dashboards by default. You can also change the context for a dashboard or for an individual view.

If the administrator has enabled the "My Custom Groups" feature for your user account, you can create your own groups of items. The groups you create are only visible to you.
