Depending on your access rights, the window of the unit group properties may contain up to four tabs:
General
On this tab, you can specify the basic properties of the group and add or remove its units.
The required fields are marked with an asterisk (*).
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
Name* | The name of the unit group (4—50 characters). It shouldn't contain “ (double quotes), { } (curly braces), and \ (backslash). Read more about the rules here. |
| Creator | The user on whose behalf the group has been created. You cannot change this property after saving a new group. Read more about the creator here. |
| Account | The account to which the group belongs. You cannot change the account because it is specified automatically. |
Units | The left list shows all the available units. The right list shows those units which have already been added to the group. To change the number of units added to the group, you should have the Edit ACL-propagated objects access right to it. To quickly search for units by name, use the dynamic filter. To search by other unit properties (for example, unique ID, device type, etc.), select the corresponding option in the drop-down list above the search. To add a unit to the group, move the unit from the left list to the right one; to remove, vice versa. To move units, use the icons To select several units, hold down Ctrl and select the required ones. To select all the units in the list at once, click Select all. Also, units can be added or removed from groups automatically. To do this, create a notification with the Add or remove units from groups action. |
