Assign computers to groups

Admin users can assign computers to groups, making it easier for users to find and manage computers. After a group is created, users can filter records on the Computers page so that computers only appear if they belong to a specific group. See Enter filter criteria and save a view.

Admin users can also remove computers from groups. Removing a computer from a group does not delete the computer; it only removes its group membership.

To assign computers to groups:

1.   On the navigation bar, click Computers. The Computers page shows registered computers.

2.   Select the check box for each computer that you want to assign to groups.

3.   In the Actions list, click Manage Group Membership.

The Group Membership Management dialog box appears. The check box is selected for any group to which all selected computers belong.

4.   Do one or more of the following:

      To remove the selected computers from a group, clear the selected group check box.

Note: If you remove the last computer from a group, the group is deleted and will no longer be available for adding computers.

      To add the selected computers to a group, select the group check box.

      To create a group and add the selected computers to the new group,  enter a group name in the Create new group box, and then click Create new group.    

5.   Click Save.
