Organizing Endpoints into Groups¶

The ENDPOINTS page enables you to organize managed endpoints into a hierarchy of parent groups and child groups. Each group can then be associated with a profile so that its endpoints can be updated with the same settings all at once.

When endpoints are first discovered, they appear in the UNGROUPED table if you have not created auto configuration rules to automatically group them as part of the discovery process. The following example shows a list of ungrouped endpoints.

The ENDPOINTS page – UNGROUPED

After creating parent groups and child groups, you can create auto configuration rules to automatically move endpoints into a group when they are first discovered. Alternatively, you can manually move endpoints into groups.

After an endpoint is moved to a group, either manually or automatically, it then appears in the GROUPED table on the ENDPOINTS page. If you have created an auto naming rule to name endpoints when they are first discovered or when they are moved between ungrouped and grouped categories, this rule is also applied at this time.

The GROUPED and UNGROUPED tabs have a endpoint count indicator showing how many endpoints are in that state.

The following example shows a structure with endpoints in two different groups.

The ENDPOINTS page – GROUPED

Creating Groups¶

To create groups:

1. From the PCoIP Management Console’s top menu, click ENDPOINTS.

2. Click STRUCTURE and then NEW GROUP.

3. Select ^TOP to create a group at the top level or select the parent group under which you want to create a child group.

4. Enter a unique name for the group (from within its group hierarchy) and click CREATE GROUP.

   Cannot find an existing group

   If you are unsure a group already exists in your environment, the search feature at the top of the CREATE NEW GROUP dialog will search for existing groups once text is entered in the search field.
   

Moving Endpoints into Groups¶

You can move an endpoint either from its ENDPOINT DETAILS page or from the ENDPOINTS page.

To move endpoints into groups:

1. From the ENDPOINTS page, click either the GROUPED or UNGROUPED tab.

2. Select one or more endpoints in the table.
   Use Shift+Click to select contiguous elements and Ctrl+Click to select non-contiguous elements.

3. Click STRUCTURE and then MOVE.

4. Select the desired parent group or child group, and then click MOVE TO GROUP.
   If you have configured an endpoint naming convention that applies when you move endpoints to or from a group, the endpoints may also be renamed during this procedure.

Moving Groups¶

To move groups:

1. From the ENDPOINTS page, click the GROUPED tab.

2. Select a group in the table.

3. Click STRUCTURE and then MOVE.

4. Select the desired parent group or child group, and then click MOVE TO GROUP.
   If you have configured an endpoint naming convention that applies when you move endpoints to or from a group, the endpoints may also be renamed during this procedure.

Renaming a Group¶

To rename a group:

1. From the ENDPOINTS page, click the GROUPED tab.

2. Select the group you want to rename.

3. Click STRUCTURE and then RENAME.

4. Enter a unique name (from within its group hierarchy) and click RENAME GROUP.

Removing a Group¶

To remove a group:

1. From the ENDPOINTS page, click the GROUPED tab.

2. Select the group you want to remove.

3. Click STRUCTURE and then REMOVE GROUP.

4. Enable the I understand message and click REMOVE GROUP.
