Viewing Computer Groups

Click Computer Groups at the top of the left navigation pane. The Computer Groups table updates to display all currently defined computer groups. Use the GROUP TYPE column to change the sort order by group type.

Using Bookmarks

Each computer group has a bookmark setting that can be enabled or disabled. If a bookmark is enabled, it is displayed in the left navigation pane. Disabling a bookmark removes the computer group from the left navigation pane.

The Show in Side Menu pull-down controls the display of computer groups in the Computer Groups table with enabled, disabled, or all bookmarks. Selections include In Side Menu (i.e., display only bookmarked computer groups in the table), Not In Side Menu (i.e, display only computer groups that are not bookmarked in the table), or All (display all computer groups in the table).

The setting of Show in Side Menu only affects the display of computer groups with specific bookmarks in the Computer Groups table. The bookmark itself determines whether or not it is displayed in the left navigation pane.
