Issue/Introduction

We have created a Group Reference in the DX Netops Portal by copying a group into a different location, how do we remove it?

 

 

Environment

Release : 20.2, 21.2

Component : IM Reporting / Admin / Configuration

Resolution

From the documentation:

A group reference is a copy of another group. Any group that is referenced in the Groups tree has an extra tab in the right pane.

To view and remove references to that group, use the Remove References tab/Section in the group menu. 

To delete group references, use the References tab for the original group.

While deleting a group that has been referenced deletes all of its references, deleting a group reference does not affect the original group.

Deleting a subgroup that is a reference does not affect the original group or its parent group.

To prevent problems when deleting a group that contains subgroup references, delete all the references before deleting the group
