Client - Computer lists
To support the administrator when working with the same groups of computers, computer lists can be created. This is a collection of computer groups that can be configured by the user. For daily work with recurring groups of computers, for example all computers from room X, a personal computer list can be created. Creating computer lists speeds up work in that it is not necessary to pick out the group of computers individually each time.

Workspace
The computer list editor is located on the right side in the computer search area. In this area the computer lists created by users are displayed and managed.
The first list always contains all available computers that the user is allowed to see due to his permissions. This list cannot be edited, only filter settings can be set and saved here.
Create computer list
A new computer list is created using the 
button.
Add / remove computer
After creating a new computer list, it is initially without content.
Right-clicking on any computer object opens a context menu. In this menu there is an entry "Add to list".
To delete computers from a computer list again, the corresponding computers are marked in the computer search area. Then click the right mouse button to open the context menu. The "Remove from list" button is used to delete the selected computers from the computer list.
Import computer lists
A quick way to create a populated computer list is to import computer lists. This function facilitates the transfer of computers from an existing list of computers located outside SCCM Manager. Such lists can be e.g. Excel lists or entries from databases. To import the computers must be saved in a text file. The computer names must be placed one below the other. This means that after each computer name there must be an end of line (CR). The computers that are imported in this way must be in the user's authorization area.
- The
button starts the computer import. - A file browser opens. Here the .txt file to be imported is selected and opened.
- A name is assigned to the imported list.
- The list is created with the computers specified in the text file.
Duplicate computer lists
Another quick method to create a populated computer list is to clone an already existing computer list. If another user has already created a list that contains the correct computers, it is possible to clone this list. To do this, the mouse cursor must point over this computer list of the corresponding user. With a right click another context menu opens. Via the context menu entry "Clone" this list is then cloned for the current user and created under his login name.
