The Directional Global Groups section displays the directional group templates (at the account level) that you can use to create Directional Record pools in your domains. These configured groups can either contain SourceIP addresses, GeoLocation regions, or a combination of the two.
Using these (Account Level) Directional Groups can help simplify the creation process of your Directional Pools, by removing the need to assign multiple regions or IP ranges per pool (or record type) that you need to create. Once you’ve created and configured a Directional Group, you can add that group name directly to a record that is being created under your Directional Pool.
The Directional Groups landing page provides various sorting and filtering options while viewing your existing configured groups. You can click the green up or down arrows to sort the list alphabetically, or use the filter option to perform a search for a matching filter type. All searches are performed as a wildcard, meaning any record matching a portion of your search will be displayed.
