Defining configuration groups

You should have determined during the planning phase whether you will have multiple configuration groups. If so, select the Configuration Groups tab in the Configuration Manager utility.

Click New or Edit to display a dialog where you can define new groups and add configurations to them. The configurations must already be defined on the Configurations tab.

Configuration group names can contain only alphanumeric characters and the underscore character.

The Default group is predefined and cannot be deleted (but it can be edited). This group initially contains every configuration. If there are no configuration groups defined in your current configuration file (MongooseConfigs.xml), you will still see the Default group containing all configurations. Whenever you create a new configuration, it is added to the Default configuration group. If clients request configurations and do not specify a configuration group (or specifies "Default"), they will be presented with only configurations in the Default group.

During installation, you can choose to allow SmartClient users to only see configurations in a certain group. Click Advanced Settings and select Remember Configuration Group Option in the Smart Client tab. See the Installation Guide for more information.
