You can organize systems via groups. This allows you to apply patches and patch policies to a group of systems instead of handling each system individually. Often it makes sense to group systems based on shared characteristics, e.g. create a group for all Ubuntu servers and one for all Windows clients.

Step 1: Create a new group

1. Go to https://patchdeck.com/patch_management/groups
2. Click on the button to create a new group: 
3. Enter a name for the group and click “Create”
4. The group will show up in your list of groups

Step 2: Add system to the group

1. Go to https://patchdeck.com/patch_management/groups
2. Click on the group you want to add a system to
3. Click on the button: 
4. Select the system you want to add to the group and click “Add”.
