3.5.6. Configuration Object Groups
If an object precedes a group or is in any position other than immediately following the group, then
this is done in a multi-step process:
i.
Right click the object and select the Move to option.
ii.
Enter the index of the position immediately following the target group.
iii. After the object has been moved to the new position, right click the object again and select the
Join Preceding option.
Moving Group Objects
Once an object, such as an IP rule, is within a group, the context of move operations becomes the
group. For example, right clicking a group object and selecting Move to Top will move the object
to the top of the group, not the top of the entire table.
Moving Groups
Groups can be moved in the same way as individual objects. By right clicking the group title line,
the context menu includes options to move the entire group. For example, the Move to Top option
moves the entire group to the top of the table.
Leaving a Group
If an object in a group is right clicked then the context menu contains the option Leave Group.
Selecting this removes the object from the group AND moves it down to a position immediately
following the group.
Removing a Group
By right clicking on a group title, the context menu includes the Ungroup option. This removes the
group, however the group's member objects remain. The group title line disappears and the
individual members appear unindented and in the normal ungrouped color. Individual object index
positions within the table are not affected.
Groups and Folders
It is important to distinguish between collecting together objects using a folder and collecting it
together using groups.
Either can be used to group objects but a folder is similar to the concept of a folder in a computer's
file system. However, a folder can not be part of a group. Groups collect together related basic
objects and a folder is not of this type. It is possible, on the other hand, to use groups within a folder.
It is up to the administrator how to best use these features to best arrange NetDefendOS objects.
