<font style="color: #404040;">The groups are separated into two i.e. Executor groups and Executor Network groups.  
**Executor Group:** These are the groups that don't contain any other groups but just Agents.  
</font>

:::tip
Executor Groups allow you to add multiple agents in one group i.e. giving you flexibility and better availability.
:::

**AutoSteps Network Groups:**<font style="color: #404040;"> These contain other network executor groups for host or network interface identification and location addressing.</font>

- The grouping of executors allows users to submit jobs to specific executors depending on the group name.
- Users can specify different groups for all executors.
- Based on these groups, executors will be selected and the job will be submitted by performing load balancing among these executors.

<font style="color: #404040;">To create a new executor group click</font> ![](/attachments/performanceguard/06305a70-4fe1-478d-af51-09daa3e9ae87.png) <font style="color: #404040;">or search for a group by entering the name in the search field.</font>

:::caution
You can add other executor groups in an executor group. After creating an Executor group, you can drag and drop the Network groups into the desired groups i.e. the groups will highlight as green allowing you to drag and drop in them.

<font style="color: #404040;">**The timezone** feature allows you to set a time period in which you want the executor to run the script and not with the Server local time.</font>
