The idea is to request a filter option for asset group. The use-case is filter only asset groups you want to focus on. Also, being able to move assets to a "retired" group and filtering it out would allow those devices to no longer show in the inventory. The standard "connect" filter ALMOST does this. However, asset that are spares and offline then get filtered out. There are other use-cases when you want to only see information on certain assets.
