Now, let’s see how group entries help balance a workload. Consider an organization
with 12 identical laser printers equally spread among three departments. The following
group entry examples show how each group entry name returns any one of the four
printers assigned to its own department:
Group entry name: /.:/admin/finance/accts_payable_printers
/.:/admin/finance/accts_payable/laser_10
/.:/admin/finance/accts_payable/laser_11
/.:/admin/finance/accts_payable/laser_12
/.:/admin/finance/accts_payable/laser_13
Group entry name: /.:/admin/finance/accts_receivable_printers
/.:/admin/finance/accts_receivable/laser_10
/.:/admin/finance/accts_receivable/laser_11
/.:/admin/finance/accts_receivable/laser_12
/.:/admin/finance/accts_receivable/laser_13
Group entry name: /.:/admin/finance/payroll_printers
/.:/admin/finance/payroll/laser_10
/.:/admin/finance/payroll/laser_11
/.:/admin/finance/payroll/laser_12
