Creating a situation group

Organize situations that you have defined into named groups that can be managed collectively. The situation group can include a distribution of managed systems.

1. Create a situation group from either the Situation editor or Object Group editor:
   • Start from the Situation editor:
     1. Open or create a situation that you want to add to the new situation group.
     2. While the situation is open in the Situation editor, click Group, then Create a new object group.
     3. Enter a name for the new situation group and, optionally, a description. The name can be up to 128 characters.
     After you click OK, the Object group editor opens the new situation group with the situation listed in Assigned Members.
   
   
   • Start from the Object group editor:
     1. Click Object group editor.
     2. Click Situation, then Create a new object group.
     3. Enter a name for the new situation group and, optionally, a description. The name can be up to 128 characters.
     The new situation group is displayed in the Situation branch of the tree.
2. In the Members tab, select a situation from Available Members and move it to the Assigned Members list.
   You can select multiple situations by holding down Ctrl while clicking; or use Shift+click to select all entries between this and the first selection.
3. If you have situation groups available and want to assign a group to this one, select a group and move it to the Assigned Members list.
   You can also assign situation groups from the Member of tab.
4. In the Distributions tab, select the managed systems and managed system groups to assign and move them to Assigned managed systems.
   You can select a managed system group to see its constituent objects in the Selected Assigned Object Members or Selected Available Object Members list.
5. Save your changes and either keep the editor open with Apply or exit with OK.
