CurrentWare
groups allow you to organize clients into dedicated groups. Groups
allow you to provide the proper PCs or users in your organization the
correct policies or easily manage your report profiles. The groups carry
over for all your CurrentWare solutions. Keep reading to learn how to
manage your clients.
Creating
folders to separate your departments or locations can be done in a
couple steps. This will make management of your policies and reports
simple.
Each group has its own individual policies set on it. No upper level policies will carry to internal folders.
Open any solution from the left-hand menu.
Click on the folder from the Groups list that you would like to add a new folder under.
Click the … option beside the folder and then choose Add New Group.
Provide the group name such as Block Internet, Managers, Default, etc. Whatever fits your need.
Moving your PCs or Users to different groups
You
can move your Client PCs or Users on a individual basis to select the
most accurate group. This will ensure proper policy and group reporting.
The clients in your groups can always be moved or updated as needed.
There are 2 ways you can move your PCs/Users around as of v8.0.0
