There are two ways of doing it:

1. Core Config Manager->Hosts->Modify->click on the "Modify" (notepad) icon next to "Host groups" under "Host Management", add hostgroups, Save, and Apply Configuration.

2. Core Config Manager->Host Groups->Modify->click on the "Modify" (notepad) icon next to "Members" under "Host Group Management", add hosts, Save, Apply Configuration.

Hope this helps.

It means you need to click "Apply Configuration" for the configuration to start being used.
