Otto allows you to configure machines in bulk.  This allows you to push software to many machines at once, transfer many machines at once to a different group, etc.  These actions are taken on a Group.  

On the right side you'll see the Systems section.  This section allows you to pair a new system (or many new systems) into the group and also provides a button for each bulk action.
