Purpose

This document describes how to set up and manage target groups.

Introduction

The Target Groups area is used to organize targets. A target group can contain any number of targets and subgroups. This allows for organization of the targets to make them easy to navigate. A target can exist in more than one target group. The number next to the target group name represents the number of targets present in that group.
