Example 2: If you want to describe a group of devices that belong
to the engineering department or are located in Philadelphia, and
specify that all of the machines must have 1 GB of memory, you
must create three rules. Department = Engineering (Rule0)
Location = Philadelphia (Rule1) Memory = 1GB (Rule2).These
rules must be arranged in relation to each other. Since the device
can either belong to the engineering department or be located in
Philadelphia, use the OR operator, |, to join the two: Rule0 |
Rule1. Make this comparison first by enclosing it parentheses:
(Rule0 | Rule1). Since the devices must both satisfy this
comparison AND contain 1GB of memory, use the AND
connector, &, to join this section with Rule2: (Rule0 | Rule1) &
Rule2. Type this final expression in the Short Expression field.

Note: You should have a space before and after operators & and |.
Otherwise, the Short Expression field may return to the default
expression, that is, Rule0 & Rule1 & Rule2 and so on, when you
delete any rule from the table.

7. Click View Devices to see what nodes satisfy this expression. A
Devices in Device Group Results window opens, displaying the
devices that will be grouped by the current expression. This can be

adjustments.
