Subgroups allow for further organization within a primary group, enabling more granular control of devices, configurations, and management. This hierarchy is particularly useful for segmenting devices by location, functionality, or any specific categorization needed for streamlined operations.
Creating a subgroup is practically identical to creating a main group, ensuring a seamless and intuitive process. Once a subgroup is created, it inherits the primary group's settings but can also be customized to meet unique requirements. Subgroups provide flexibility in managing devices while maintaining a clear organizational structure.
With Subgroups: When a group contains subgroups, the folder icon is color-filled, indicating that additional levels of hierarchy exist within the group.
Without Subgroups: Groups without subgroups are represented by an unfilled folder icon (e.g., white), signifying no further subdivisions.
These visual cues make it easy to distinguish between groups with and without subgroups at a glance.
Locate the Parent Group: Navigate to the Assets view or Groups section and find the group you want to add a subgroup to.
Open Parent Group Menu: Click the ⋮ (ellipse) icon on the parent group card to open the menu.
Select Create Subgroup: From the drop down menu, click on Create Subgroup.
Enter Subgroup Details: In the popup window, fill in the following:
Name: Provide a name for the subgroup.
Description: Add an optional description to identify the subgroup.
Save the Subgroup: Click Create to finalize and create the subgroup.
Note: The process mirrors that of creating a group, with the only difference being that the subgroup is nested under a parent group. After creation, subgroup management (e.g., assigning devices) can be performed in the same way as for groups.
