Groups
Self-adapting groups — the heart of the platform
Everything in Xcellerate RMM happens through groups. Build them with the visual Query Builder over every aspect of the inventory — hardware, software, patches, databases, certificates, custom fields — and membership updates itself as your environment changes. Attach scripts, packages, schedules and patch strategies to a group once, and every device that matches inherits them automatically. Tags and group priorities let you handle the exceptions cleanly.

Why teams choose it
Self-adapting membership: define the rules once and devices join or leave automatically as their inventory changes
Automation attaches to groups — scripts, AppDeploy packages, schedules and patch strategies apply themselves to every matching device
Tags and group priorities resolve conflicts and exceptions predictably, without duplicating policies
Key capabilities
Query Builder membership
Compose group rules over the entire inventory — OS versions, installed software, database instances, certificate expiry, listener ports, custom fields — with a live preview of matching devices.
Self-adapting automation
A laptop that installs SQL Server tonight is in your 'Database servers' group tomorrow morning — with its backup checks, patch strategy and monitoring already applied.
Group priorities
When a device matches multiple groups, priorities decide which policy wins. Set a high-priority exception group for edge cases instead of rewriting the general rule.
Tags for exceptions
Manually tag or rule-tag the outliers — a tag can pull a device into an exception group or keep it out of one, so one-off cases never break your standard policies.
Folder tree organization
Organize hundreds of groups into nested folders per customer, technology or policy area. Duplicate a group to reuse its rules as a starting point.
Bulk operations
Send an action or script to every member, review group-level patch compliance, and export group inventories — one click at group level, not per device.
