Create a query

To ensure the correct software is present in the correct application groups you can use group queries. When the query is executed, software that matches the query and isn’t already linked to an application group is linked to the group. The CapaInstaller server runs the group queries regularly. To run them right away, use Process Software Group.

Both the name and the version are required. Each can contain one wildcard *, and it must be the last character.
