The ENDPOINTS page enables you to organize managed endpoints into a hierarchy of parent groups and child groups. Each group can then be associated with a profile so that its endpoints can be updated with the same settings all at once.
When endpoints are first discovered, they appear in the UNGROUPED table if you have not created auto configuration rules to automatically group them as part of the discovery process. The following example shows a list of ungrouped endpoints.
After creating parent groups and child groups, you can create auto configuration rules to automatically move endpoints into a group when they are first discovered. Alternatively, you can manually move endpoints into groups.
After an endpoint is moved to a group, either manually or automatically, it then appears in the GROUPED table on the ENDPOINTS page. If you have created an auto naming rule to name endpoints when they are first discovered or when they are moved between ungrouped and grouped categories, this rule is also applied at this time.
The GROUPED and UNGROUPED tabs have a endpoint count indicator showing how many endpoints are in that state.
The following example shows a structure with endpoints in two different groups.

To create groups:
You can move an endpoint either from its ENDPOINT DETAILS page or from the ENDPOINTS page.
To move endpoints into groups:
To move groups:
To rename a group:
To remove a group:
Note: Child groups will be removed and any endpoint will become ungrouped | |
If you remove a parent group that contains child groups or endpoints, the child groups will also be removed and any endpoints will become ungrouped. |
