Assigning or moving devices to device groups

You can assign devices to a device group, change the device group assignments by moving devices from one user-defined group to another, or assign devices to multiple device groups.

Moving devices from one group to another group

1. In the Device Groups view, select the group in which the devices are currently located (including Unassigned).
2. In the Device View, highlight the devices you want to move.

   Note

   To move a NetBotz Appliance, and its supported devices, highlight its main listing; if you highlight a device associated with a NetBotz Appliance, a copy of that device will move, and a copy remains with the NetBotz Appliance listing.

3. Drag the selected devices from the Device View to the desired group in the Device Groups view.

   Note

   When devices are assigned to a subgroup, those devices are included in its parent group, as well.

Assigning devices to multiple groups

1. In the Device Groups view, select a group that contains one or more of the devices you want to assign to multiple device groups.

   Note

   For devices in the Unassigned group, move them to one of the groups in which you want those devices assigned, then select that group.

2. In the Device View, highlight the devices you want to copy to another group.
3. Hold the Ctrl key down, and drag copies of the selected devices from the Device View to the desired group in the Device Groups view, including all devices associated with a NetBotz Appliance, when that appliance's main listing is selected.

   Note

   For a device associated with a NetBotz Appliance, you can drag a copy to another group without using the Ctrl key.

4. Repeat until all devices are in the correct device groups.
