Using the Groups screen
The groups screen allows you to combine nodes together. You can assign baselines, enter
credentials, perform inventory, and review and deploy updates to all nodes in the groups that
share these settings. The settings you assign on a group screen, for example a baseline, overrides
what you applied to the node when you added the node to HP SUM.
NOTE: If you do not enter a setting to a group, HP SUM uses the information from the node. For
example, if you leave the group credentials blank, then HP SUM uses the credentials you entered
on the Nodes screen.
