Chapter 15: Grouping Units 213
In the example, four unit groups have been created in the global root group, and each of those four
unit groups contain groups. The unit group Gamma has been selected, and indicates it has two
subgroups, Lab and Operations. The Unassigned global group will contain any units that are not
assigned to another global unit group.
Three personal unit groups have been created. The ProjectA and ProjectB unit groups do not have
subgroups. The ProjectC unit group has one or more subgroups.
To display a list of unit groups in the Unit Groups window:
1. Click the Units tab.
2. Click Groups in the top navigation bar. The Unit Groups window will open. If a unit group has
subgroups (children), an arrow will be displayed next to its name.
• To display a list of groups in the global root group, click Global Root. The first global unit
group listed will automatically be selected. Click on the arrow next to a group to expand it
and display subgroup names.
• To display a list of groups in the personal root group, click Personal Root. The first
personal unit group listed will automatically be selected. Click on the arrow next to a
group to expand it and display subgroup names.
