Chapter 5 Administering Groups
Group Administration
Defining Group Rules
In the Rules:Create dialog box, you can define the rules for the group. The rules
you define in this phase determine the contents of the group. The rules you specify
here determine the devices to be included in the group.
If you have created the group copying the attributes of another group, the rules
specified for that group appears in the Rule Text field. You can retain these and
add more rules, or delete these rules and create a new set of rules.
In the Rules:Create dialog box, you can either enter the rules directly in the Rule
Text field, or select the components of the rule from the Rule Expression fields,
and form a rule.
The rule expression has the following components:
Class.attribute operator value
The Rules:Create dialog box allows you to check the syntax in the Rules Text
field. You can use this facility to validate the rules you have created.
If you leave the rule blank, it creates a Container group.
Click View Parent Rules to display the rules defined for its ancestor groups.
You can select the parameters from Rule Expression fields to create a new set of
rules.
If you do not want to use the rules currently displayed in the Rule Text field, you
will have to create a new set of rules. To do so:
Step 1
Delete the rules displayed in the Rule Text field, and click any other field.
Step 2
Select appropriate parameters for Object Type, Variable, and Operator. See
System Defined and User Defined Attributes for details on the Variables.
Enter the value for the Variable you have selected.
Step 3 Click Add Rule Expression.
The Group Administration wizard creates the rule based on the parameters you
specified and adds the rule to the Rules Text field.
For example, the rule type:
:CMF:DCR:Device.DisplayName equals "joe"
will select the device with the DisplayName joe.
