SSR 2011 Management Solution: resource target

In the document "Symantec System Recovery 2011 Management Solution: Technical FAQ" i found the following question:

6. What is a resource target in the context of the Symantec Management Platform?

A resource target is essentially a dynamic way of targeting a package or policy
at a group of systems that share one or more specific attributes.
A good example of a resource target is “All Computers with Symantec System Recovery 2011 Installed”.
When a package or policy it assigned to this resource target, such as a backup policy or license policy,
all client computers that match that resource target will receive that package or policy.
Several default resource targets are included with the Symantec System Recovery 2011 Management Solution,
and additional resource targets can be created using features of the Symantec Management Platform.

I have found no way to create my own resource targets. Has someone already implemented this?

Yep, I've created custom filters to target certain policies.

As Markus has pointed out, you can create custom filters:

https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/videos/create-basic-filter-symantec-management-platform

However, these filters wont be available when you do a right-click/apply on a policy within SSR-MS.

To use the filter, you have to edit the policy and go to the apply to section.

This is something that I plan to raise internally as this appears a limitation of the product as it currently stands.

Let me know if you have any questions/concerns.

This was formulated in the document misleading. Thanks for your help.

I agree that the FAQ is misleading (or not detailed enough). I'm raising this internally to see what can be done.
