Show VLANs shows only VLAN resources within the groups.
■
The resource list in the right half of the panel displays the resources available within the group
you have selected in the Component Tree.
5 Select one or more resources from the list of individual resources, or select a resource group or
device from the left-hand list.
6 Click the Add button to add your selections to the Resource Results list. You can select a
group in the Component Tree or one or more groups or individual resources from the resource list.
Click the Add All button to add all the individual resources in the right-hand list to the
Resource Results list.
NOTE
There is an important difference between adding individual resources as children of a group, and adding a group
as a child of another group. Adding a group to the results list does not have the same effect as selecting the
group in the Component Tree, and then adding its children using the Add All button.
When you add a group as a child of another group, all members of the subgroup (its children) are considered
members of the higher level (ancestor) group. As membership in a subgroup changes, so does the membership in
the higher level (ancestor) group. Resources added individually, on the other hand, remain as children until they
are explicitly removed from the group (or deleted from the EPICenter database).
To search for a resource using the Query function, click the Find button. You can add the results of
your query directly into your Resource Results list by selecting the resources you want to add and
clicking the
Add button at the bottom of the Query window. See “ Searching for a Resource ,” on
page 238 for more information on the Find function.
7 You can remove resources from the Resource Results list if you change your mind about your
selections.
Select one or more resources in the Resource Results list, and click the Remove button to remove the
selected resources, and return them to the Resources to be Added list.
Click the Remove All button to clear the Resource Results list.
8 Click OK to add the resources in the Resource Results list to the list of children for this resource, or
Cancel to cancel the Add function.
9 To save your changes to the EPICenter database, click the Save button at the bottom of the Grouping
Manager window.
If you attempt to begin a different operation or leave the Grouping Manager applet without saving,
the Grouping Manager prompts you to save your changes. However, you can add and remove
children and attributes to the group you have selected in multiple operations before you save.
Click the Cancel button at the bottom of the window to cancel the changes you have made to this
group.
Removing A Child Resource from a Group
If you have added a resource as a child of a group, you can remove the resource from that group using
the Remove function. This removes the parent-child relationship between the resource and the group.
This does not remove the resource from the EPICenter database, unless it is a user-defined resource and
