Dynamic groups

Introduction

Unit membership in a dynamic inventory group is based on various types of inventory information gathered about the various units. You can establish complex logical criteria for defining the membership of each group. To view the units that are currently part of a dynamic group, click on the group name in the left frame and look at the list in the right frame. Membership is maintained by the Replicator, so updates will appear only as often as the Replicator runs the Process SQL group job. You may therefore need to wait a short time before units appear in a new dynamic group.
