Unit Grouping
The DSView Explorer automatically groups managed appliances by the type of appliance
(CCM1650 appliance, DS1021 switch and so on). Target devices are automatically grouped based
on the type to which they are assigned.
NOTE: Recently accessed units may be viewed by clicking the Recently Accessed link in the side navigation bar.
You may also add and change the following types of groups:
• Personal and global unit groups - Global unit groups may be seen by all users, while personal
unit groups are visible only to the user who created the group
• Custom Fields - Custom fields allow a user to create groupings of units which are accessed by
all users in the DSView software system by clicking a link in the side navigation bar
•Sites
• Departments
• Locations
A site, department and location may be used together to provide a detailed description of where a
unit resides. For example, a DSR1021 switch may be assigned a site of New York, a department of
Information Technology and a location of Room 214.
Grouping units by site
A site is a location that contains a managed appliance. You may wish to assign a location name to a
site, such as Austin, 10045 Zip Code and so on.
