You can add, remove, and rename user-created groups to the My Network group in the left panel.
Adding a Group
You can add groups in the left panel under My Network, then add/copy devices into these groups to define device groups on your network. You can also create maps to represent the network elements contained within these device groups.
- Click the right mouse button on the My Network group or on a user-created group to which you want to add a new group and select Add Device Group from the right-click menu. The Add Device Group window opens.
- Type a name for your new group and click Ok define the name for the new group.
Renaming a Group
By default, all new groups are named with the designation New Group when they are created. You should name your groups as they are created, but you can rename them at any time as follows:
- Right click on a group and select Rename Device Group from the right-click menu. The group name will be highlighted.
- Place the cursor anywhere in the name, and edit as desired; or, simply begin typing to replace the highlighted text entirely.
- Press Enter to set your change.
Removing a Group
You can remove groups that you've created (user-created groups) in the left panel. However, you cannot remove system-created groups. When you remove a group, the devices contained in it are not deleted from the NetSight database. Only the group (container) and any sub-groups within it are removed.
To Remove a group:
- Expand the groups in the left panel and select the group being removed. Click the right mouse button on the group you wish to remove.
- Select Remove from Group from the right-click menu. The selected group will be removed without further confirmation.
