Managing Groups
Groups help you organize devices into logical categories. For example, you might create groups for different vehicle types (buses, vans), locations (North Region, South Region), or purposes (School Routes, Corporate).
When viewing reports or tracking, you can filter by group to focus on specific subsets of your fleet.
Viewing Groups
The Groups table displays:
- Name: The group name
- Sync Status: Connection status with the tracking server (Pending, Synced, Failed)
Searching for Groups
Use the search field to find groups by name. Type your search term and press Enter.
Understanding Sync Status
Groups sync with the tracking server to ensure consistent data:
- Pending: Currently syncing
- Synced: Successfully synchronized
- Failed: Sync failed - click the Retry button to try again
Adding a Group
- Click the Add Group button.
- Enter a Name for the group.
- Optionally select a Parent Group to create a hierarchical structure.
- Click Create Group.
Creating Hierarchical Groups
You can nest groups within other groups. For example:
- Vehicles
- Buses
- School Buses
- Charter Buses
- Vans
- Buses
To create a nested group, select an existing group as the Parent Group when creating a new group.
Editing a Group
- Find the group in the table.
- Click the actions menu (three dots) in that row.
- Select Edit.
- Update the name or parent group.
- Click Update Group.
Deleting a Group
- Find the group in the table.
- Click the actions menu (three dots) in that row.
- Select Delete.
- Confirm the deletion.
Note: Deleting a group does not delete the devices in it. Those devices will simply no longer be assigned to a group.
Assigning Devices to Groups
You assign devices to groups when adding or editing a device:
- Go to Devices.
- Add or edit a device.
- In the Details tab, select a group from the Group dropdown.
- Save the device.
Permissions
You need the appropriate permissions to add, edit, or delete groups. If these options are not visible, contact your administrator to request access.
