Auto-Grouping
The Auto-Grouping submodule consists following subsections:
- Auto Add Client setting
- Client(s) list excluded from Auto adding under Managed Group(s)
- Group and Client selection criteria for Auto adding under Managed Group(s)
Auto Add Client setting
Selecting the checkbox Auto adding client(s) under Managed Group(s) enables automatic adding computers under Managed group(s) after manual installation of eScan client.
Client(s) list excluded from Auto adding under Managed Group(s)
Adding a client in this list ensures that it does not auto add itself again after you remove it from the Managed computer(s).
Group and Client selection criteria for Auto adding under Managed Group(s)
This section lets you define/create groups with client criteria for auto adding under managed group(s). You can add a list of clients under a particular group name here and then add it under the exclusion list if required.
Excluding clients from auto adding under Managed Group(s)
