Grouping applications
Although you defined the three applications and a system, they are currently not connected. The next step is to create an application group, make the applications members of the group, and then link the group to the system. You use a simple group. A simple group is a group without an automation name. It does not appear in the model that the Automation Manager uses to run the system and the applications.
