Payload Groups

What

Payload groups are used to generally organize payloads and to mass assign payloads to groups of devices.

When/Why

We'll use these groups whenever things get a little bit messy.  They can be very helpful to organize and we highly recommend that you don't let your payloads get out of control without some type of storage system.  A lot of FileWave customers also use these groups to create associations (deployments) for many apps/profiles to devices.

How

Creating a group is simple...you just click the new group icon in the upper right ().  Payload groups can also be nested below other groups, so your storage can be quite detailed.   Take a look below at creation of a new group and then the move of a group (and its children) as well:

A few rules about payload groups:

• Payload group names must be unique
• Payload groups always create at the root of the tree
• Payload groups can be moved to another location (and nested)
• If you move a payload group, the group (and anything below it) will be moved
