The endpoint group specification is a domain specific language that allows you to define groups. The
endpoint group specification consists of a set of operators and a set of data fields that these operators
can be applied to. A group specification is a Boolean expression that is evaluated per endpoint to
determine whether or not a endpoint is a member of a group.
The information obtained to assign endpoints to endpoint groups happens when inventory is received,
not at activation time. If you set up endpoint groups, all endpoints will stay only in the default endpoint
group until inventory is received.
Group specifications are created using the following fields and expressions. Multiple fields and
operators can be used in a single group specification.
