Hey all

I couldn't find a dedicated feature request page for XOA v6, so I will post it here.
I have been using XCP-NG and XOA for a few years now and since I really like the product I decided to play around with XOA v6 (preview).

One think that I noticed is that all the VM are listed under its host, which is obviously fine.
In a larger environment it can get cluttered if you have lots of VMs.

One way to solve this, is by letting users create (sub)folder/groups (in a custom view tab?).
E.g. I can create a static group for all my Windows VMs with different sub groups for domain controllers, lab environment, DNS server...

To take this even further, an option can be added for dynamic groups to dynamically populate the groups based on certain criteria. Since XCP-NG knows what OS is running inside a VM, it can automatically place VMs inside of groups based on the rules the user has put in place for said (sub)group(s).

E.g. I create a new VM called dc01 and it runs Windows as OS. By creating the following rule:
"name" -contains "dc" AND "os name" -contains "Windows"

It automatically "places" the VM in the following sub group
Windows ==> domain controllers

Where exactly the custom view tab would be placed best, I would leave that to the UX designers, but I have included a screenshot for a possible place, right below the search:

The static folder/group approach would be easy to implement I think, about the dynamic approach I'm not sure, but it would be neat for sure!

Edit: in the future the groups can also be used to manage access. E.g. a certain user or groups of users can only access Windows VM group, Linux VM group, Lab VM group....

Thank for reading the post!
