Hierarchy

When a device is added it will become part of the current hierarchy. This is used to group certain devices together and provide a clear overview.

For a single device, we don’t need anything more than a single folder like the example above. But when adding multiple devices across multiple spaces it pays off to create a clear structure.

Configuring folders

To create or modify a folder, click the right mouse button on an existing folder. Three options will be displayed:

  • Add: (leads to any of the three options below)
    • Root folder, this creates a new folder that is added separately from other folders
    • Subfolder, this creates a new folder within the folder that is currently selected
    • Device, this adds a new device within the folder that is currently selected
  • Delete: deletes the folder or device
  • Edit: changes the name and/or profile of the folder

Creating a structure

We strongly suggest creating a structure that matches the location or makes sense for the organization. In most cases it would be similar to the example below based on different floors within a building:
