Managing your device groups
Managing your device groups
Device groups overview
Just like with individual devices, you can perform actions on grouped i3CONNECT displays, or device groups. Device groups are a group of i3CONNECT displays which you can use to simultaneously apply specific actions on such as a Remote Configuration or User Profiles. Instead of performing the action on each display individually, you can perform it once on a device group and let i3CONNECT Cortex do all the work.
You can create new device groups, as well as consult them in the device groups overview by selecting “Device groups” from the main menu.
Selecting a group will bring you to the device group details. Perform actions (like apply a configuration) on the device group by selecting the three dots “…” and load the actions menu. Select multiple device groups at once by selecting the checkboxes to the left of the device groups and perform the action from the main actions menu at the top right corner of the overview.
Select the column titles and you can change the sorting, for instance to change alphabetic sorting from A to Z to Z to A.
Device group details
Select a device group from the overview to see the device group details. This should open the device group details page giving a dashboard overview the most essential information.
The device group details page is made up of two sections:
