Description:
Currently, we have only one way to add multiple mysql instances to a group. By looking at the name on the "Add to group" popup (On UI->Settings->Manager servers)

There are times when you need to see more information to distinguish among servers with the same name.

It would help a lot if you could use the current check-boxes next to each server name, and then click on "Add to group", select a group name, and you are done.

How to repeat:
1- Have the name of 3 mysql instances be the same.
2- Add each of them to a specific group based on whether they are online or offline.
3- You would be force to either rename them, or add them all to each group and then remove the "extra" servers from the wrong groups.

Suggested fix:
Use the already present check-boxes and add a "add to group" link, which then will show you the different group names you have. (and allow for adding the same server to multiple server groups as well)

Since we already have a way to do this, though sub-optimal in some arguably unlikely scenarios as mentioned, this seems like a P4.

Resolved in 3.1.0.
