This function is not available when in Support Mode. Creating a new group To more easily manage Neoware thin client appliances, you may choose to organize them in logical groups. Group appliances based on any criteria you desire. Use the sorting mechanism in the list view, and then click-and-drag selected appliances into defined groups to quickly create an easy-to-manage structure. For example, in a large network, you may decide to group thin client appliances located on different subnets in different groups, or a separate group for each configuration of software. Note on saving lists: ezRemote Manager allows complex multilevel grouping to provide you with flexibility. It is important to save your list as you go. When you use the File Save function, the complete asset management database is saved to disk, including groupings, IP addresses, station names, and OS versions. ezRemote Manager also allows saving multiple database files. (For more information on using saved databases, see "Saving and automatically retrieving asset lists" on page 24.) Saving multiple database files allows you to create different groupings of the same list of appliances. 1 Right-click anywhere in the list view, and then select Add | Group from the pop-up menu. 2 Type a name for the new group folder. 3 Select the thin client appliances that will belong to the new group. 4 Drag the selected appliances into the new group folder.

Grouping in asset lists
Grouping in asset lists
To more easily manage Neoware thin client appliances, you may
choose to organize them in logical groups. Group appliances based
on any criteria you desire. Use the sorting mechanism in the list
view, and then click-and-drag selected appliances into defined
groups to quickly create an easy-to-manage structure. For example,
in a large network, you may decide to group thin client appliances
located on different subnets in different groups, or a separate group
for each configuration of software.
Note on saving lists:
ezRemote Manager allows complex multi-
level grouping to provide you with flexibility. It is important to
save your list as you go.
When you use the File Save function,
the complete asset management database is saved to disk,
including groupings, IP addresses, station names, and OS ver-
sions.
ezRemote Manager also allows saving multiple database files.
(For more information on using saved databases, see “Saving
and automatically retrieving asset lists” on page 24.) Saving
multiple database files allows you to create different groupings
of the same list of appliances.
