Adding Groups in Predix Edge Manager

Create device groups in Edge Manager to organize your device inventory by the criteria you specify, such as device type or geographic location.

Procedure

  1. In the left navigation pane, select Device Manager > Groups.
  2. In the Groups page, click Action > Add.
  3. In the Add Group dialog window enter the information for the group:
    1. In Group Name, enter a name for the group.
      Note: Group names must:
      • Begin with an alphanumeric character and can contain alphanumeric, dashes, underscores and spaces
      • Be between 3 and 63 characters long
    2. (Optional) Select the Nest Group Under check box to nest your group under a parent group, then select the parent group from the list.
      By default, groups are not nested.
      Note: If this is the first group you are creating, no entries are visible in the Select Parent Group field because there are no groups.
      Creating subgroups can help you refine the way your device groups are organized.
    3. Click Add.
      The group appears in the group list.
