Groups

Paid option

This function requires O&O Syspectr Premium or a higher edition. Compare the editions

With groups, you organize your computers, apply settings to a whole group of computers at once and get information about the whole group. Click the tile of a group to open its overview, or create a new group with Create new group. The Overview of a group shows how many computers it contains and when one of them was last connected. The list of computers shows the last event and the current status of each computer. You can select several computers at once and move them to another group or remove them from the group.

O&O Syspectr creates the group All computers automatically. It always contains all computers of your account.

Group views of the modules​

For each module – for example Windows Updates, Software, Microsoft Defender Antivirus, Disk Cleanup, Hardware, Drive Monitoring, System information, PowerShell scripts, USB storage and Windows Privacy – a group shows the key figures and details for all its computers. Click an entry, such as an application, an update or a processor model, to list the computers concerned right below it.

From the group view, you can also run actions on all computers of the group at once, for example scans, scripts, restarts and shutdowns, and follow the status of each job. In the Windows Privacy module, you define the O&O ShutUp10++ settings for the whole group, with profile presets and an overview of which computers already match them.

Each module view of a group creates reports as PDF, CSV or Excel files; earlier reports remain available in the report archive.

Computer tags​

O&O Syspectr uses tags to add computers to groups. As soon as you assign a tag to a computer, the computer is added to the group with this tag and takes over the settings of the group. Computer tags shows the tags and lets you assign them to the computers of your choice. Click a tag to open the list of its computers. From there you can go to the group of this tag or create the group if it does not exist yet. A tag can also be used without a group.
