17.1 Creating Policy Groups

  1. In ZENworks Control Center, click the Policies tab.

  2. Click New > Policy Group.

  3. Fill in the fields:

    Group Name: Provide a name for the policy group. The name must be different than the name of any other item (policy, group, folder, and so forth) that resides in the same folder. The name you provide displays in ZENworks Control Center.

    For more information, see Naming Objects in ZENworks Control Center in the ZENworks 11 SP4 ZENworks Control Center Reference.

    Folder: Type the name or browse to and select the ZENworks Control Center folder where you want the policy to reside. The default is /policies, but you can create additional folders to organize your policies.

    Description: Provide a short description of the policy group's contents. This description displays in ZENworks Control Center.

  4. Click Next to display the Add Group Members page, then add the policies you want to be members of the group:

    1. Click Add to display the Select Members dialog box.

      Because you are adding policies to the group, the Select Members dialog box opens with the Policies folder displayed.

    2. Click The Navigate icon next to a folder to navigate through the folders until you find the policy you want to select.

      If you know the name of the policy you are looking for, you can use the Item name box to search for the item. You can add only policies to the group. You cannot add other policy groups to the group.

    3. Click the underlined link in the Name column to select the policy and display its name in the Selected list box.

    4. (Optional) Repeat Step 4.b and Step 4.c to select additional policies.

    5. Click OK to add the selected policies.

  5. Click Next to display the Summary page, review the information and, if necessary, use the Back button to make changes to the information.

  6. (Optional) Select the Define Additional Properties option to display the group’s properties page after the group is created. You can then configure additional policy group properties, such as assigning the policy group to devices and users.

  7. Click Finish to create the group.
