article How do I group elements or servers together?

Element groups allow you to create a hierarchy of elements within your enterprise.  These groups can then be used to control user visibility and enhance your reporting capabilities.

 

A single element can only belong to one element group.

 

To add a group:

  1. On the My Enterprise panel, click Add Group.
  2. Enter a descriptive name for the group in the Group Name field.
  3. Optionally, enter a description of the group in the Group Description field.
  4. To make this group a subgroup, select the name of the group to which it will be a subordinate in the Parent Groups list, then click Add.
  5. Select the systems that you want to add to this group from the Available Elements list, then click Add.
  6. Select one or more sets of users that can view this group from the Available User Groups list, then click Add.
  7. Click Save.
