Creating An Agent Group - Novell GROUPWISE 8 - ADMINISTRATION Administration Manual

Figure 63-4
You can create additional groups and subgroups as needed to make monitoring similar agents easier.
You might want to create agent groups based on geographical areas, on administrative
responsibilities, or on agent configuration similarities. The number of agents in the group is
displayed to the right of the group name in the agent groups window.
In addition, by creating agent groups, you can provide configuration settings for monitoring just
once for all agents in each group, rather than having to provide them individually for each agent in
your GroupWise system.
