You can organize devices and applications in two ways using
Groups allow you to manage a large number of systems by filtering devices to run reports, run automated tasks, and perform patch management such as applying patching policies to multiple devices at one time.
Devices can belong to multiple groups; however, in this case, any device alerts appear on the Central Dashboard under all the groups to which the device belongs.
How You Can Use Groups
Groups can be used for a variety of asset management purposes, including:
- For custom views or filters of devices (such as alert views).
- For reporting on a group of devices.
- To organize your staff into groups supporting certain IT technologies. For example, if you are a Microsoft Exchange Specialist, you can quickly view and manage multiple Exchange servers across multiple clients.
- For persistent state management, whereby you can create grouping rules to automatically add devices to a group when malware is detected, and then run an automated task against those device to remove the malware. When the malware is removed, the device is automatically removed from the group.
- To apply configuration profiles to Android, iOS, and macOS devices.
- For user permissions whereby you can assign users to view and access certain groups only.
