Modifying the Properties of Agent Groups

Right-clicking an agent group container and selecting Modify Properties allows you to change the agent group properties.

Agent group containers are used to store the maximum number of agents on which a task may run in parallel. During runtime, this number may be set higher to allow more parallel executions, or to 0 in order to temporarily suspend the execution of tasks. In the latter case, the task is then in Waiting for host status.

This option is available for tasks with a status between 1500 and 1799; for all others it is not possible to change the agent group.
