Problem:
Currently, App Groups and Scripted Actions Groups in Nerdio Manager are single-layered, meaning they do not support nested or hierarchical groupings. This limitation restricts flexibility in organizing and deploying complex sets of applications or scripts, especially in environments that require layered configurations or conditional deployment logic.
Description:
Lack of group nesting forces administrators to create numerous flat App Groups or Scripted Actions, leading to duplicated logic and reduced reusability. This increases management overhead and limits the ability to scale automation and application deployment across diverse user or session host scenarios.
Vision:
Introduce support for nested or multi-layered groups in both App Groups and Scripted Actions. For example:
- An App Group could contain other App Groups, allowing inheritance or chaining of installation logic.
- A Scripted Actions Group could include references to other Scripted Actions Groups, enabling modular and conditional execution flows.
In the Nerdio Manager console, group management interfaces would support drag-and-drop hierarchy building or allow linking groups as children or dependencies. This would enhance reusability, reduce duplication, and empower admins to build more sophisticated deployment configurations using a building-block approach.
