Notice the group section is comprised of two differnt different input fields. The first one is a drop box con
taining containing all the currently configured groups. If the Node's group is not in this drop down box, we c
an can enter a new group value in the text box below it.
If it'd s desirable to not display a certain group to any user of the GUI we may invoke the 'Hide Groups' feature. This is a
vailable available from the NMIS9 top menu bar by selecting System->System Configuration->Hide Groups.
