Solution

Examples of Dynamic Group templates and their use

For additional examples of using Dynamic Group templates, see Dynamic Group template – examples in ESET Online Help.

  1. Open ESET PROTECT or ESET PROTECT On-Prem in your web browser and log in.

  2. Click More Dynamic Group Templates. Click New Template to create a new Dynamic Group Template. You can also select an existing Dynamic Group Template and click Edit Template to edit it. 

    Figure 1-1
  1. Type a name for your new Dynamic Group Template into the Name field.

    Figure 1-2
  1. Click Expression, select NOR (All conditions have to be false) from the Operation drop-down menu and click Add Rule. In addition to NOR, you can use the OR (at least one condition has to be true), NAND (At least one condition has to be false), and And (All conditions have to be true) operations to create custom expressions. An expression can contain multiple rules.

    Figure 1-3
  2. You can create rules to sort devices by a variety of criteria. Some criteria appear in multiple sections but sort devices using the same logic.

  1. Select has prefix from the drop-down menu and type ESET Endpoint Security into the blank field. This expression will recognize any application with a name that begins with ESET Endpoint Security. Click Finish when you are finished making changes.

    If you edit a template associated with an existing dynamic group, ESET PROTECT or ESET PROTECT On-Prem will automatically recognize when a new computer meets the criteria defined in a Dynamic Group template and add it to the appropriate Dynamic Group. 

    If this is a new template, create a dynamic group using the one you created.
