Use the settings to organize your network by setting up single and group objects for hosts, users, networks, VPN and IP ranges. The created objects are displayed as nodes on the desktop and can be used as sources and/or destinations in connections to apply firewall rules.
The item list bar displays an overview of all desktop objects, subdivided into types of desktop objects, that are currently defined on the system. When you click an entry in the item list bar, the nodes of all desktop objects that this desktop tag is assigned to are highlighted on the desktop.
To create a desktop object, click the 
button at the top of the respective section in the item list bar. Alternatively, click the
respective desktop object icon in the toolbar at the top of the desktop.
