Adding a Resource as a Child of a Group
EPICenter Reference Guide
231
Adding resources to a group as individuals is a more static relationship—resources remain as children
until they are explicitly removed from the group (or deleted from the EPICenter database).
To add a resource or group of resources to a higher-level group, do the following:
1 In the Component Tree, select the group to which you want to add the resource, so that the group’s
information is displayed in the Resource Details view.
2 Click the tab labeled Children to display the list of children belonging to this group.
3 Click the Add button at the bottom of the list of Children to display the Add Resources to Group
pop-up dialog, as shown in Figure 109 .
Figure 109: Adding Resources to a Group
This window has two parts:
■
A display of the resources in the EPICenter database that are available to be added to the group.
■
A list of the resources you have selected to add.
4 Select a resource from one of the lists in the Select Resources to be Added panel at the left hand
side of the dialog window. You can make your selection from either side of the panel.
The Select Resources to be Added panel is split into two parts:
■
The Component Tree in the left half of the panel displays the groups that contain resources of
interest. It may include devices if you have filtering set to display port resources.
The drop-down menu field at the top of the Component Tree lets you select a filter to apply to
the resource display. This filter controls the types of resources that are displayed as
subcomponents of the groups in the tree.
Groups are always displayed. The following filter choices determine the types of individual
resources that are displayed within the groups:
Show All allows resource children of all types to be displayed.
Show Devices shows only Device resources within the groups.
Show Hosts shows only Host resources within the groups.
Show Ports shows only Device and Port resources within the groups.
Show Users shows only User resources within the groups.
