Viewing groups
You can view all the available groups by clicking the View Groups task category. This
displays a two-column table listing the groups and the computers contained in each
group.
Automatically generating groups
The Auto Generate Groups task category lets you dynamically divide the total number
of existing computers into manageable groups on a per-package basis. This lets users
who have not created groups display multi-computer views for smaller groups of
computers.
