Groups — Overview
A group is a named, nestable container for platforms — a folder, not a type. Where device type and platform type describe what a platform is, a group describes where it belongs organizationally: a site, a region, a customer, a fleet segment — whatever grouping makes sense for you.
Permission level: Admin
Why groups exist
- Filtering — the Platform Table can filter by group directly
- Bulk targeting — group a fleet segment once, then filter to it whenever you need to work with that segment, instead of picking platforms one at a time
- Reporting — group/platform/device counts roll up the hierarchy, so a parent group's numbers include everything nested under it
A platform belongs to exactly one group at a time; groups themselves can nest arbitrarily deep.
