Description

Static group

When you register a device, you must first associate the device with a static group. Afterwards, you can configure the device's inventory attribute to automatically re-associate the device to a dynamic group.

To learn more about device attributes, see Attributes - Conceptual.

Dynamic group

A dynamic group indicates that a device has been automatically added to a group, based on the device's inventory attributes or labels.

For example, a dynamic group can be created and populated only with devices that contains the following inventory attribute: “Operating System” equals “Windows” and “Version” equals “11”


Before you begin

  • All registered devices must be associated with a device group. When you register a device, you must first assign the device to a static group. Afterwards, you can associate the device to a dynamic group.

  • A device group can be either static or dynamic, but not both simultaneously.
