With the preparatory work complete, you are ready to begin the four step process of creating an administration group hierarchy and template collections. The administration group user interface is organized to guide you through the creation process, with each tab containing the requisite operations to perform each step.

This process involves:

1. Creating the administration group hierarchy.

2. Create monitoring templates.

3. Creating template collections.

4. Associating template collections to administration group.

5. Synchronizing the targets with the selected items.

The following graphic shows a completed administration group hierarchy with associated template collections. It illustrates how Enterprise Manager uses this to automate the application of target monitoring settings.
