To create an asset group without establishing automatic asset membership criteria, perform the following procedure.

You can create up to 125 asset groups.

Important: This topic does not describe how to automatically assign assets to a new group by using dynamic criteria because those instructions are covered in Automatically Assign Assets to Asset Groups. The automatic method of assigning assets to asset groups is the recommended method.

Prerequisites

Rank Policies if this is a policy use case.

Procedure

  1. On the left navigation pane, click Inventory > Asset Groups.
  2. Click Add Group.
  3. Add a name and optional description to the group.
    Note: You can use a built-in Asset Group called None to identify assets that do not belong to any Asset Group. Therefore, you cannot use the word "None" as your Asset Group name.
  4. Optionally define criteria to automatically add assets to the new asset group. See Automatically Assign Assets to Asset Groups.
  5. Optionally select a policy to secure the assets in this group. Do not select a policy if the group is for organizational or visibility purposes only.
