•Click Create. If you click Create when you have a group selected, the new group becomes a child of the parent group you selected. You can move a parent and all its children around in the hierarchy by clicking Select from the Create screen.

•Check the check box next to the network device group name that you want to duplicate, then click Duplicate.

•Click the network device group name that you want to modify, or check the check box next to the name and click Edit.
