Create Groups

COCKPIT and ASSETS menu

Groups are a powerful way to organize and manage devices efficiently within the platform. By categorizing devices into groups, you can streamline configurations, apply rules, and analyze data specific to subsets of your devices. Groups help maintain clarity and efficiency, especially when managing large numbers of devices.

Multiple Ways to Create Groups

Groups can be created from different sections of the platform, each leading to the same result:

1. Assets menu: The primary and most intuitive way to create and manage groups, allowing direct device assignments and hierarchical subgroup creation.

2. Cockpit > Groups Section: This provides an alternative method for creating groups. Once the group is created, the view automatically switches back to the Assets menu for group management tasks, such as adding devices or creating subgroups.

This section will guide you through the process of creating groups specifically from the Assets menu, ensuring a seamless experience in managing your devices.
