  2. Click Create > Application Group.
  3. Complete the configuration according to the following guidelines:
    Table 1: Fields on the Create Application Group Page

    Field

    Name

    Enter a unique name that is a string of alphanumeric characters, colons, periods, dashes, and underscores. No spaces are allowed and the maximum length is 63 characters.

    Enter a description for the application; maximum length is 255 characters.

    Group Members

    Click the plus icon (Blue plus symbol suggesting an action like adding or expanding content.) to add applications to your application group. On the Add Applications page, select the check boxes next to the applications you want to add to the group.
  4. Click OK to save the changes. If you want to discard your changes, click Cancel instead.

    A new application group with your configurations is created.

Manage Custom Application Groups
