User Guides.

The window of the unit group properties may contain the following tabs:

General

 

On this tab, you can specify the basic properties of the group and add or remove its units.

The required fields are marked with an asterisk (*).

Property Description

Name*

The name of the unit group (4—50 characters). It shouldn’t contain “ (double quotes), { } (curly braces), and \ (backslash).

Read more about the rules here.

Creator The user on whose behalf the group has been created. You cannot change this property after saving a new group. 
Account The account to which the group belongs. You cannot change the account because it is specified automatically.

Units

The left list shows all the available units. The right list shows those units which have already been added to the group.

To quickly search for units by name, use the dynamic filter. To search by other unit properties (for example, unique ID, device type, etc.), select the corresponding option in the drop-down list above the search.

To add a unit to the group, move the unit from the left list to the right one; to remove, vice versa. To move units, use the icons / or double-click on the selected units.

To select several units, hold down Ctrl and select the required ones. To select all the units in the list at once, click Select all.

Icon

 

On this tab, you can choose an icon which should be used to identify the group.

You can use either standard or custom icons. To choose a standard icon, click on the Icon library button. To upload a custom icon, click on the chosen icon, select the image on the disk, and click OK. Supported formats are PNG, JPG, GIF, and SVG. The recommended image size is 32×32 pixels. To replace the icon with a standard one, point to the image and click on the icon .

Custom fields

 

On this tab, you can create custom fields with additional information about the group or units added to it.

To create a custom field, fill in the Name and Value fields and click on the icon . The Value field is optional. After saving the changes on the tab, all custom fields are displayed in alphabetical order.

To delete a custom field, click on the icon  next to it.
