3.5.6. Configuration Object Groups
A Group editing dialog will be displayed which allows two functions:
• Specify the Title
The title of the group can be any text that is required and can contain new lines as well as empty
lines. There is also no requirement that the group name is unique since it is used purely as a
label.
• Change the Display Color
Any color can be chosen for the group. The color can be selected from the 16 predefined color
boxes or entered as a hexadecimal RGB value. In addition, when the hexadecimal value box is
selected, a full spectrum color palette appears which allows selection by clicking any color in the
box with the mouse.
In this example, we might change the name of the group to be Web surfing and also change the
group color to green. The resulting group display is shown below:

right clicking the object that immediately follows the group, we can select the Join Preceding
option to add it to the preceding group.
Once we do this for the second IP rule in our example then the result will be the following:
To add any object to the group we must first position it immediately following the group and then
select the Join Preceding option. This is explained in more detail next.
