Groups & Tags (Fleet Organization)

Groups & Tags help you organize your fleet, target actions, and filter fast.
This page covers: why grouping matters, how to create/edit/delete groups and subgroups, how to assign devices with drag-and-drop, how to use tags, and best practices.

Why use Groups and Tags?​

  • Clear structure: Build a hierarchy like Country → Site → Room.
  • Scoped access: Combine with roles to delegate parts of the fleet.
  • Better reporting: View smaller slices of your fleet.

Key concepts​

  • Group / Subgroup: A folder-like container for devices. Supports deep hierarchies.
  • Tag: A short label on a device.
  • Membership: A device can belong to multiple groups (and have many tags).
info

Groups show where a device belongs in your structure.
Tags describe what a device is or how you want to target it.

Group list​

Groups are shown on the left as a tree.
When you select a group, the Devices table on the right shows only devices in that group and its subgroups.

FAQ​

Does deleting a group delete devices?
No. Devices stay in your account and become unassigned.

Can a device be in multiple groups?
Yes. A device can belong to multiple groups.

Is there a tag limit?
Effectively high. For manageability, keep 5–15 tags per device as a guide.
