groups, sorting must be enabled on the server and the desired systems, and sorting criteria
and the sorting order of groups must be configured.

System Tree.
2 Next to Sorting criteria click Edit. The Sorting Criteria page for the selected group

• IP addresses — Use this text box to define an IP address range or subnet mask as
sorting criteria. Any system whose address falls within it is sorted into this group.
• Tags — Add specific tags to ensure systems with such tags that come into the parent

Enabling System Tree sorting on the server
