WAPT version: 2.6.0.17392 - Enterprise Edition
Server OS: Debian 12
Administration Machine OS: Windows Server 2022

Hello,

I currently work for a local authority, managing workstations for the town hall as well as various schools.
In the administration console, under the "Private Repository" tab, all the packages we use are grouped together. However, given the number of packages we have, it quickly becomes tedious to search for one specifically assigned to a school.

Would it be possible to create a way to display package groups according to PC groups?

Thank you for your feedback.

Hello,

I'm having trouble understanding your needs. Do you have, for example, 12 different Firefox installations? And one for each school with a different name?

Otherwise,

"Enable AutoFilter" might be what you need.

To enable it, go to "View" -> "Display Preferences" -> "Enable advanced grid view options".

Once that's done, you can right-click on a column header to filter the values ​​within it. This allows you to search for things in columns based on what you want.

Good morning,

In addition to the municipal offices, we have 12 schools. Each entity has different software needs.
It is therefore quite difficult to quickly and generally determine which package group has been assigned to which group of PCs. We wondered if it was possible to define PC groups and have a view per group in the "private repository," something like this:

Hello clafon,

Groups in WAPT are a generic concept that doesn't necessarily represent a specific location or establishment, so I'm afraid that despite the clarity and usefulness of your request, it won't be followed up.

Your best approach is to generate the report you're asking about using SQL reporting with a clause like SELECT a, b, c, FROM hosts WHERE group IN ('group1', 'group2', etc.) GROUP BY "group". This way, you control what a group means to you.

You can easily find the database schema using https://wapt.tranquil.it/store/fr/detai ... _PROD.wapt.

It is therefore quite difficult to know, in a quick and general way, which package group has been assigned to which group of PCs.
Currently there is indeed:

Right-click on the package, show dependent packages.

which is: "on which package was this package put as a dependency.

But it's true that you can't do it on a multiple selection when there are several package names
