Match

Select one of the following options:

• any — Objects must match at least one of the membership conditions you define (equivalent to a logical "or" for the conditions you specify).
• all — Objects must match all of the membership conditions you define (equivalent to a logical "and" for the conditions you specify).

Condition list

To define member conditions, perform the following steps:

1. When defining smart job or smart depot groups, use the box at left to select a type of object. If you are defining smart server, smart component, or smart component template groups, this box does not appear. Skip to the next step.
    For example, when defining a depot group you can select NSH Script. Choosing Depot Object means you want the smart depot group to include any type of depot object. Choosing Job means you want the smart job group to include any type of job.
2. In the next box to the right, select the name of a property for the type of object you are collecting in a smart group, such as DATE_CREATED. For example, you can select a server property or a component template property.
3. In the next box to the right, select a comparison-operator, such as begins with, is one of, or is before.
4. In the next box to the right, provide a value or values for the property.
    For example, to create a smart depot group containing all BLPackages created between two dates, select BLPackage in the first box, then select DATE_CREATED, and then select between. Finally, select two dates in the boxes furthest to the right.
   For a smart component group, the following example is especially useful. Select the TEMPLATE object (rather than a property) in the first box, then select equals as the operator, and finally select a component template. The resulting smart component group is populated with all components that satisfy the signature in the selected component template.
5. To create another condition, click the plus sign to the right of the condition you just defined. An additional line for another condition appears.
    To delete a row representing a condition, click the minus sign to the right of the condition.
