Devices
Groups
Grouping the devices will help you to manage the devices more effectively.
The number next to group name stands for [the total number of devices / the number of devices in error status].
Customized groups
SyncThru™ Admin 5 supports Customized groups for flexibility. You can create, modify and delete groups under
Customized groups.
There are three predefined groups: All, Ungrouped, and Grouped. These groups are provided by default for group
management. Although they are under Customized groups, you cannot change these groups manually. However,
you can create, modify and delete groups under Grouped.
• All : displays all the devices in the system.
• Ungrouped : displays the devices, that are not assigned to any group. A device is moved from Ungrouped to
Grouped after it has been assigned to at least one group.
• Grouped : displays the devices, that are in at least one group.
You can also add specific options to groups by checking the Automatically add discovered device to
this group. Check the and set three options below. For example, if you are a device manager for
building A, you can create your group with this option: Property = Location, Compound Option = Equal to
and Property Value = building A. However,
only works during discovery time. This means that if you
assign an option to a group (when you create or modify a group), during the next discovery, the new device will
be added to this group automatically if it fits the specified criteria (See "Filtering" on page 34, "Using customized
group with options" on page 40).
Adding groups
1. Click the button on the bottom of the Customized groups panel. A window appears.
2. Enter a Group Name. Description is optional.
If you want to create a group with options, check and configure the criteria (See "Filtering" on page 34,
"Using customized group with options" on page 40).
If you want to add more options, click Add Function.
3. Click OK.
If you want to add devices to a specified group, select the devices you want to add in the Devices list and drag
and drop the devices into the group. If you drag-and-drop the devices from another customized group, the
devices will be copied, not moved, to the group.
Modifying groups
1. Select a group you want to modify from the Customized groups panel.
2. Click the button on the bottom of the Customized groups panel. A window appears.
3. Make your modifications.
4. Click OK.
Deleting groups
1. Select a group you want to delete from the Customized groups panel.
2. Click the button on the bottom of the Customized groups panel. A window appears.
3. Click Delete.
The device(s) of the deleted group will be moved to Ungrouped. If the device(s) of the deleted group also
belong(s) to other groups, you may not find the device(s) in the Ungrouped since the device(s) will still be
located in other groups. Deleting a group does not mean removing devices from the system.
