Creating and Managing Target Groups

Target Groups can be used to group relevant targets for efficient filtering and running batch scans. This article explains how to create a target group and how to add existing targets to a target group. It also provides instructions for editing and deleting target groups. For introductory and use case information about target groups, refer to What are Target Groups?

How to create a target group

1. Log in to Invicti Enterprise.
2. Select Targets > New Group from the left-side menu.

3. Enter a Name for the new target group.
4. Optionally, add a Description to provide additional information about the new target group.
5. In the Target Group Tags field, optionally enter up to 20 tags. These are usually labels to give additional context. For more information, refer to Tagging in Invicti Enterprise.

6. Select the targets you want to be included in the new target group.
7. Use the Target's Technical Contact drop-down menu to select a technical contact person from the user account list. New issues discovered for each target in the target group will be assigned to this user. The technical contact you select will also be applied as the technical contact to all targets that are added to the target group. 
8. Click Save.

The newly created target group is now visible on the Target Groups page. Select Targets > Manage Groups from the left-side menu to view, edit, or launch a scan of a target group.
