What are Device groups

Device Groups are a group of i3TOUCH 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 i3RDM do all the work.

How to create a Device Group

To be able to group i3TOUCH displays, a Device group must be created first.

Click on “Device Groups” to see an overview of all your Device Groups, create and edit Device groups.

This table view lists all the available Device Groups, if you have any. New groups can be created by clicking the ' + ' button, whereas existing Device Groups can be accessed by clicking them.

Add devices to the Device Group

When creating a group you can immediately add one or more devices to the group.

Alternatively, you can add to or remove your i3TOUCH displays from a Device Group in the Device details page.

After a Device Group is created and devices have been added to it, you can select this group instead of an individual device when installing an app from the app repository. See Remote Installation of apps

Applying actions and configurations

In the Actions tab, you can also find additional menu items.

These can be applied to individual Device Groups from the Actions tab. Select multiple Device Groups and you can apply them from the top of the table view.
