Overview

Device Groups allow you to organize devices (turnstiles, controllers, readers, etc.) into logical sets to simplify management, monitoring, and the application of access rules. A device can belong to one or more groups.

Filtering Device Groups

Use the status filter at the top of the screen:

  • All: Shows all groups (active and inactive).
  • Active: Lists only active groups.
  • Inactive: Shows only deactivated groups.

Use the Search field to locate a group by name.

Search and Display

The table displays:

  • Group Name: Group identifier.
  • Actions: Options to edit, deactivate/activate, and delete.

Adding a Device Group

To create a new group, click New Group in the screen header.

Registration form

Fill in the form fields:

  1. Group Name: Enter a descriptive name for the group (required).
  2. Devices: Use the dual-list selector to link devices to the group:
    • The left list shows available devices (not yet in the group).
    • The right list shows devices already included in the group.
    • Use the central buttons to move devices between lists:
      • Add to group: Moves selected items from left to right.
      • Add all: Moves all available devices into the group.
      • Remove from group: Removes selected items from the group list.
      • Remove all: Removes all devices from the group.

Click Save to confirm the registration.

Editing a Device Group

To edit an existing group, click the edit icon (pencil) on the corresponding row. Use the dual-list selector to add or remove devices from the group. After making changes, click Save.

Removing a Device Group

  • Click the delete icon (trash) to deactivate the group. A confirmation dialog will be displayed.
  • To reactivate an inactive group, click the reactivation icon.

Note: Deactivating a Device Group does not affect the individual operation of linked devices. Devices continue to operate normally; only the logical grouping is deactivated.
