Creating and Managing Workspaces Groups

Workspaces groups are logical groupings of a set of ‘workspaces’ (or endpoints) that can be used when managing an organization. They can be static and dynamic.

Static Workspaces Groups​

Creating and managing static Workspaces Groups includes:

Creating Static Workspaces Groups​

A static group is defined as a series of members (workspaces) that comprise it and do not change, except if the group is modified.

To define a static workspaces group:

  1. Enter Portal and select the option Workspaces -> Workspaces Groups in the left-side menu. A list of available groups will appear (or empty, if none exist).

    wgroup-ed

  2. Click the + New button at the top of the list. A pop-up panel will appear on the right side of the screen. Enter the name of the group and its description (optional). Once done, click the + New button at the bottom of the pop-up panel.

  3. A confirmation message for the creation of the group will appear. Close the pop-up panel using the X at the top-right of the panel.

  4. The new group will appear in the list. Click on its name to access the details.

Managing Static Workspaces Groups​

The group's control panel has the following tabs:

  • Details: general information. From here, you can delete the group by clicking the Edit button.
  • Workspaces: controls the devices that are part of this group.
  • History: offers a daily view of the number of devices that make up the group.
  • Location: a geographic location can be added to the device group if necessary.

To add devices to the group, click on the Workspaces tab and press Edit. A list of all available devices in the installation will appear.

Usage from Workspaces​

Once the group is defined, it can be managed within the Workspaces module when filtering results.

Dynamic Workspaces Groups​

In addition to static groups, dynamic groups can be created based on Workspaces search filters. This way, the members of these dynamic groups can change in real-time.

Creating Dynamic Workspaces Groups​

Dynamic groups are created from the Workspaces view within the Workspaces module.

  1. Access the list of devices within Workspaces. Select or create a search filter. For simplicity, in this example, a filter that searches for devices that have not been restarted in the last 15 days is used.

  2. Once inside the filter results, use the My Filters option -> Workspaces Groups -> Save as dynamic workspaces group.

  3. A pop-up panel will appear. Give the dynamic group a name and click OK.

  4. The system will notify you that a job has been scheduled to create this element. You can audit the execution of the task in the Jobs section in the left-hand menu of the Workspaces module.

  5. Return to the Workspaces -> Workspaces Groups menu in Portal to verify that the new dynamic group has been created and check its members.
