In the Configuration → Host groups section users can configure and maintain host groups. A host group can contain both templates and hosts.
A listing of existing host groups with their details is displayed. You can search and filter host groups by name.
Displayed data:

| Templates | Number of templates in the group (displayed in gray). Clicking on "Templates" will, in the whole listing of templates, filter out those that belong to the group. |

Mass editing options
Buttons below the list offer some mass-editing options:
