Create Group (Freeform)

Release: Juniper Apstra 4.2

date_range 07-Feb-24

arrow_backward

arrow_forward

Organize resources in Freeform blueprints with groups (folders).

Groups are folders used to organize resources in Freeform blueprints. You can nest groups inside other groups in as many levels needed to organize your resources. You can add new groups to any existing group. If you haven't created any groups yet, you'll put your new group in the built-in Root group. (Instead of, or in addition to, creating groups manually as described here, you can create group generators that create groups automatically and dynamically based on conditions that you set.)

From the blueprint, navigate to Staged > Resource Management > Blueprint Resources.
Click the group where you want to put the new group, then click Create (right-side) and select Group.
The group you selected appears in the immutable Parent field.
Enter a group name.
(The Data field holds metadata that you can associate with the group. It's used to impart information to the object you've created. It may be used for things like a desctiption or perhaps to indicate to others what the object represents.) If you'd like to add context to the group, enter applicable key-value pairs in the Data field.
Example: {"group_type":"vn"}
Click Create to create the group and return to the Blueprint Resources view.

When you've created one or more groups you can start putting resources and resource generators into them.
