What is meant by Object groups?
The term "object groups" refers to the grouping of multiple similar or related objects into one group. These objects can be physical or virtual in nature, such as machines, real estate, or software licenses. Object groups allow for structured management and analysis of the grouped objects, which is particularly advantageous in complex projects or large organizations.
