An Open-AudIT Group is a set of devices that is defined by the Open-AudIT Administrator. A Group definition can contain any property (or multiple properties) of a device. Custom fields/properties (which can be added in Open-AudIT using the GUI) can also be included. Several Group definitions have been provided, but only the "All Devices" Group is activated by default. To active a Group go to Admin -> Groups -> Activate Group. You should not ever never delete the "All Devices" Group. A group uses a SQL query to determine the systems that belong to it. Each system has an entry in oa_group_system noting it's system_id and the group_id from the oa_group table. Thus, a system can belong to more than one group and one group can have more than one system.
