Creating a client group

You can group the NetVault Clients into one or more logical entities. A client group can contain all or specific clients. The new clients automatically become members for client groups that are configured to include all clients.

To create a client group:

In the Navigation pane, click Manage Clients, and then on the Manage Clients page, click Manage Client Groups.
2
On the Client Group Management page, click New Group. On the Client Group page, provide the following information
•
In Group Name, type a name for the client group.
•
In Group Description, provide a detailed description for the client group.
•
To add all clients to the group, select the All Clients check box. When you select this check box, the new clients are automatically added to the group.
To add a specific client, select the target client in the Available Clients table, and click the Add button () to the left of the item. When you click this button, the selected client is moved to the Chosen Clients table.
