Device Groups
iC Navigator allows you to organize devices into logical groups, making them easier to locate
and to manage. A device group is a folder in iC Navigator into which you drag and drop
selected devices. You can create as many device groups and subgroups as you want.
When you create a device group, you automatically create a virtual alarm that displays the
overall status of its member devices. The color of the device group’s folder icon will change
when one or more of its members displays an error or warning status. For example, if one
member device changes status as a result of a critical error, then the group’s folder icon will
turn red. If no devices are assigned to a group, its folder icon will be grey.

1. In iC Navigator, click the Logical view tab.

4. Type a descriptive name in the New Folder field, and then click Create Group.
A folder with the name you typed will appear in the list.
5. Drag and drop devices into this folder to add them to the group. Open the folder and drag
devices out to remove them from the group
