Hi Harlan,
it was link to the local deployed instance. If you don't have, you can try it on the
older version for instance here:
http://jon01.mw.lab.eng.bos.redhat.com:7080/coregui/#Inventory/Groups/Com...
Click on New, type in some name, Next, Finish -> nothing new in the list (because the
newly created group is mixed and it is available from mixed groups view (on the bottom
left))
..or Click on New, type in some name, Next, Assign two resource of different type, Finish
-> the same effect

Hi Jiri,
I am not able to view the link that you sent over so I can not fully digest the issue at
hand.
Can you please send over a screen shot or a working link and I will get back to when I
can.

Subject: UX issue: Creating a compatible group with no members will create a mixed group
(BZ 708929)
Hi,
the problem is that it isn't intuitive when user creates an empty compatible. group
or mixed group from the compatible group view
(
http://localhost:7080/coregui/#Inventory/Groups/CompatibleGroups) the mixed group is
created and nothing is populated in the list of groups in current view (because it is list
of compatible groups).
Is it plausible from UX perspective to create a group with whatever type and then if the
type doesn't correspond with the currently selected view, redirect the user to the
right view? I've done those changes and to me it is far more intuitive. What about
some dialog? "You have created an empty group, which is considered as a mixed
one." / "You've created a mixed group from compatible view, the list of
mixed group will be opened" ?
