Adding Objects to Groups Manually

You can manually add objects to groups in static categories — categories created with multiple-condition method and imported manually from a CSV file. When you map an object to a group, Veeam ONE adds the Manual selection condition to the group configuration. The name of an object acts as condition value. Mapped objects have static group membership, that is, they remain in the group until you manually reset categorization values. For more information on resetting, see Resetting Categorization Values.

Mapping Objects to Groups

To add objects to a group:

1. Open Veeam ONE Client.

For details, see Accessing Veeam ONE Client.

2. In the inventory pane, navigate to the Business View node.
3. In the Business View tree, select the necessary object type — Virtual Machines, Hosts, Datastores, Clusters, Computers or Enterprise Applications.
4. Open the tab with the name of the object: Virtual Machines, Hosts, Datastores, Clusters, Computers, Enterprise Applications.
5. Select objects that you want to add to a group.

To quickly find necessary objects, use the scope drop-down list and search field at the top of the objects list.

Press and hold the [CTRL] or [SHIFT] key on the keyboard to select multiple objects.
