Groups provide an easy way to generate reports and network diagrams for only those systems which belong to a specific region, function, or system.
Group information is stored both with the maps used to create the groups and with the application in the Repository. Therefore, the Repository must be active for group information to persist, and any groups you create must be saved in the map before the group information is updated in the database. If you close a map after creating a group and without saving changes, the group changes will be discarded similar to changes made in any document or spreadsheet are discarded if the file is closed without saving changes.
To create a group, right-click on the Groups heading in the left-hand navigation tree:
Name the group and provide additional details, if desired.
Subgroups
Right-click on any group to add a subgroup.
Add Nodes to Groups
Add nodes to a group by selecting the node(s) on the map or in the left-hand navigation then right-click and select Add To Groups. The Add Nodes to Group wizard is displayed.
