When you select a group in the upper panel, the lower panel displays a tree, with the group’s
membership as sub-nodes. If you right-click a sub-node, an appropriate action menu appears; if you
click a resource node, the options mirror the action menu described in Action Button / Right-Click
Menu on page 213.
Static Groups
If you selected a static group, then you can click on the Membership node of the tree on the left. (See Dynamic
Groups on page 638 for the alternative).

NOTE:
If you select equipment in Resources manager, then click the New Group button, the Static Group screen
displays the selected equipment in its list.
This displays a table of entities with columns for Name and Ty p e . Click the Add button to display a
screen where you can select the resources for this static group. You can also add sub-groups in the
Groups panel below the Equipment panel. These appear as group nodes. You can add a dynamic
group as a sub-group. Its contents are updated whenever the application runs the query that
populates it.
Click
Save to confirm your selection. The resources in the group appears in the groups details
screen for this group, as described in Groups Manager on page 635.
NOTE:
If resources are in both the super- and sub-group, the application recognizes this and eliminates any
conflict.
