Group locations are groups of mobile devices that connect to the same server. Group locations allow increased flexibility for assigning different profiles at the same server location. A group location must be created in a server location where there is a mobile device server. Avalanche uses selection criteria to determine which devices belong to each group location.
Note: An exception is a group location that has sub-locations. It does not use selection criteria. Instead, these "parent" groups display all of the devices that are included in the sub-locations.
A device can belong to more than one group location concurrently. If a device is included in more than one group location, it will use the profiles from the highest priority location. Locations are assigned priority as they are created, so the first location you create has the highest priority.
To create a group location:
| 1 | Navigate to the location where you want to place the group location and click the Locations context link. |
| 2 | In the Sub-locations panel, click New. |
| 3 | The New Subordinate Location dialog box appears. Click Group. |
The New Group Location page appears.
| 4 | Configure the options as desired. If you prefer to plot the location on a map rather than provide the latitude and longitude, click the Use map to plot button. When you are finished, click Save. |
| 5 | If you do not want inherited profiles and device groups to be visible, enable the Hide inherited profiles and device groups option. |
| 6 | Click Save. |
A group location appears under the server location. The mobile devices meeting the specified selection criteria will be assigned to the group location. View the mobile devices in the group by selecting the group and then viewing the device inventory.
