Creating a device group

To create a device group.

1. Click the Create button. The Create Group dialog appears.

2. Select a Group Type:

- Static Group
— A static group is any logical grouping of a fixed set of devices. You can use static groups to view group level dashboards, define alarms, and run reports on a specific set of devices.

NOTE: A device can belong to multiple static groups.

- Config Group — A config group consists of devices in which a template defines and maintains configuration settings. If a user changes any device setting that is configured in the template, the template is reapplied, and the device reverts to template settings.

NOTE: A device can belong to only one config group.

3. Enter a name for the group.

4. If you are creating a config group, select a template from the drop-down list.

5. Select the devices you want included in the group. NOTE: Devices in a config group must have the same model and firmware version as the template.

6. Click Save. The group appears in the list.
