Subgroups
The number next to Subgroups, for example, Subgroups (3), shows the number of subgroups in the general group.

To view information about the subgroups, click Subgroups.

You can organize your resources into a general group hierarchy that can contain up to five group levels. A subgroup in the hierarchy can also be a parent to other general groups.

The Subgroups page shows only the subgroups that are direct children of the general group. If the subgroup is also a parent group, the name of its subgroup is shown in the Subgroups column. If the group has more than one subgroup, click the number of groups in the Subgroups column to view the subgroups.

Members
The Members section lists the resource types that are members of the general group or members of its subgroups. The number next to the resource type, for example, Block Storage Systems (2), shows the number of resources of that type in the general group or in its subgroups.

To view information about the resources, click the resource type, for example, Volumes (27).
