This form has the following fields:

Organisation:	This read-only field shows which organisation this group is being added to.
Parent group:	This field is only visible when creating sub-groups. This read-only field shows which parent group this sub-group is being added to.
Name:	Enter the name of the group you want to add, e.g. Customers. The name must be unique within your organisation.
Description:	Enter a short description for this new group here.
Member select area:	You can select multiple assets/users in the non-members field (left box) by clicking the checkbox or using the SHIFT keys to check multiple assets/users. These checked assets/users will be moved to the members field (right box) beside it. If you want to remove an asset/user, you can uncheck it in the non-members field (left box) or you can press the X button on the asset/user in the members field (right box). You can also drag and drop to rearrange the order in the members field (right box).

If you accidentally try to add a new group with the same name as an existing group for your organisation then you will get a warning message. Once you are happy with your entries click the “Add group” button at the bottom of the form. This will add a new group with the details that you supplied. The new group can be viewed in the Groups tab at the parent asset’s view pages, as shown in Figure 6.
