Static group: add or remove group members

Adds a defined set of systems to a specified static group or removes a defined set of systems from the specified static group. Use this event action to initialize a set of systems to process. Then the processing is triggered by an event that you specify in your event filter.

Requirements
Both the source and target groups must be static groups.
Result
The group member that generated the event is added to the specified static group or removed from a specified static group, as applicable.
Example
Use this action to track systems that have been processed. When the specified event is received, this event action moves a defined set of systems to a static group. Then, as each system is processed, the system is removed from the static group using the Static group: add or remove the event-generating system event action.

For example, create a static group that contains all the systems that require updating. After each system is updated, an event is generated. That event can trigger this event action to remove the updated system from the static group. When there are no more systems in the static group, you know all systems have been updated.

Tip: You can use event-data-substitution variables for the source or target group names. Doing so lets you dynamically set the source or target group to the static group that contains the system that generated the event. For more information, see "Event-data-substitution variables."
