Grouping Devices

Grouping devices according to specified criteria makes it easier for administrators to manage them. Devices can be grouped automati- cally according to any of their properties, or manually assigned to groups in any way that is suitable for your requirements. Note that you can also pre-assign the group to which a device belongs from the device itself by editing its agent configuration settings.

Dynamic Grouping Dynamic grouping allows you to automatically group devices by specific properties. For example, you could create a grouping scheme that will group all devices by their CPU type or agent ver- sion. You can specify more than one grouping property for a group, and you can define up to six customizable grouping properties. Once you have defined the properties associated with a dynamic grouping scheme, all devices with matching properties will automatically be assigned to the relevant group, including any devices added to Device Manager in the future.
