Overview

The Manage Equipment Groups section is designed to allow the equipment to be structured in a hierarchy matching the structure of the facility.  An unlimited amount of groups can be created and groups can be created within other groups.  As an example, groups can be created to represent departments and then sub groups can be created for work centers.

To Add a new group to the system, Highlight the plant that you would like to add the group to and click the Add button.  Assign it a name and click Enter.  You can move the location of the newly created group during it's creation or at a later time by clicking the Modify button and using the arrow buttons on the right to relocate the group within the hierarchy.  Please note that all groups built under a plant must have a unique name. 

Note that for reporting purposes separate reporting groups can be created which does allow equipment to be a member of multiple groups.  For reporting groups refer to the Manage Reporting Groups section or the User Reporting Groups section.
