Manage groups

Create, update, and remove flexible device groups for operational work.

Use Manage groups to create, update, and remove device groups.

Groups help you organize devices outside the hierarchy tree.

When to use groups

Use groups when devices should stay in their current hierarchy placement but still need to be collected for work.

Common uses include:

  • bulk operational tasks

  • cross-hierarchy reporting sets

  • short-term working collections

Before you start

Confirm that:

  • a group is the right choice instead of a hierarchy move

  • you know the operational purpose of the group

  • you know whether you need to create, edit, or delete a group

2. Review the list

Check the current groups before you create or change one.

Use the Actions menu

Open Actions to manage the selected group.

Create a group

Use Create Group when you need a new device collection for a specific workflow.

Select ActionsCreate Group.

Edit group details

Use Edit Group Details when the current group setup still fits, but its details need to change.

Select ActionsEdit Group Details.

Delete a group

Use Delete Group only when the collection is no longer needed.

Select ActionsDelete Group.

Verify the result

After you complete an action, confirm that:

  • the group list shows the intended create, edit, or delete result

  • the group still matches the operational purpose you planned

  • you did not change a group that should remain available for another workflow

Choose groups or hierarchies

Use these quick rules:

  • use Groups when device placement should stay the same

  • use Hierarchies when ownership or access should follow a business structure

  • return to Manage hierarchies and groups if you need to recheck the difference

Result

You can manage device groups from one page.
