Managing Units using Unit Groups
Unit groups may be used to organize the units in your DSView system. The following two types of
unit groups are available in the DSView software:
• Personal - A personal unit group is only viewable by the DSView user who created the unit
group. Up to 32 personal unit groups may be created by a DSView user.
• Global - A global unit group is viewable by any DSView user logged in to the DSView soft-
ware.
Personal unit groups will appear in the Personal Unit Groups window and global unit groups will
appear in the Global Unit Groups window. You may specify the number of unit groups that display
per window by clicking the Customize link. See Using the Customize Link in DSView Software
Windows on page 15 for information on using the Customize link.
Units may belong to multiple groups. For example, you may have a DSR1021 switch that belongs
to two global groups and three personal groups.
To view unit groups:
1. From the DSView 3.0 Explorer, click Units in the tab bar.
2. From the top navigation bar, click Groups. Personal is automatically selected in the side navi-
gation bar and the Personal Unit Groups window will appear.
