Use the Group dialog to create and edit groups.
To display this dialog, on the Groups tab:
- click the Add group button (),
- click the label of a group item; or
- click the Options button () on a group item and select Edit.
The following options are available:
General
Use this tab to define a label and a name for a group. The group name must be unique and is used when granting group access to objects in the system.
The system will automatically generate a suitable group name while modifying the label. The group name can be customised after changing the label. Please note that no duplicate group names may exist on the entire platform, so you must keep it specific.
Note: Only lowercase letters, numbers, and periods can be used in a group name.
Items
All items that have been added to the group are listed on this tab. Every item in this list is accessible to the users defined on the Access tab.
A group can contain any item type. For each individual item in a group, the item can be modified and the groups containing the item will be listed in the access tab.
Advanced
Select Offline screen notifications to be notified by email if screens in this group are offline for over ten minutes. Notifications will be sent to all users in a group's Access tab.

Grant additional users and user groups to access to the items in the group and set the access level.
