Modifying the resource tree

You can create, delete, and modify the contents of the resource tree.

Creating groups
Resource groups organize resources into logical groupings.
Creating agent-type and agent pool-type resources
Agent-type and agent pool-type resources represent the computers where components are deployed.
Creating component-type resources
Component-type resources represent the components that are deployed to target environments.
Adding agents to resource groups
You can find agents that are not associated with a resource and add them to a resource group.
Moving and copying resources
Resource tree structures in the Resources Tree page can be configured by moving and copying the resources using the drag and drop feature.
Deleting resources
When you no longer require the resources, you can remove them from the Resource Tree page and choose to delete them permanently.
Deleting resources from the Recycle Bin
When you no longer require the resources permanently, you can delete the resources from the Recycle Bin by setting up time and duration for the cleanup.
Restoring the resources from the Recycle Bin
When needed, you can choose to restore the resources to their original locations in the Resource Tree after you delete them. When restored, the resources are restored as a child resource of the original parent resource. If the parent is moved, the resource is restored to the parent's new location. However, after resources are deleted from the Recycle Bin, they cannot be restored.
Comparing and synchronizing resources
You can compare the contents of a resource group to another group or a resource template and then apply changes to the group or template.
Synchronizing resources from a template
You can add the contents of a resource template to the top-level resource group.
Adding resources from a template
You can add the structure from a resource template to a new group within an existing resource group.
