7.3.2 Adding or deleting a unit group
To add a unit group:
1. Click the Units tab.
2. Click Groups in the top navigation bar. The Unit Groups window will open.
3. Click the checkbox next to the group container (Global Root or Personal Root) or the group name that you want to be
the parent of the new unit group.
4. Click Add. The Add Unit Group window will open.
5. Type a 1-64 character name for the unit group. The name must be unique within the parent group. For example, two
groups can be named “development” but they cannot both be members of the unit group “Huntsville.” (This unique
name restriction does not apply to personal unit groups that are owned by different users.)
6. If you do not want the unit group (or any of its child unit groups) to appear in the side navigation bar, enable the Do not
display this unit group nor any child unit groups as unit views checkbox.
7. If you do not want the units in the unit group to belong to any other unit group, select Exclusive.
8. If you want to add another unit group in the same hierarchy, click Add/New. The Add Unit Group window opens.

To delete a unit group:
NOTE: Deleting a unit group deletes the group only; the units still exist in the DTX Control system. You cannot delete any system-defined unit
groups (global root, personal root and unassigned.)
1. Click the Units tab.
2. Click Groups in the top navigation bar. The Unit Groups window will open.
3. Click the checkbox next to the unit group to be deleted.
4. Click Delete. A confirmation dialog box will appear.
5. Confirm or cancel the deletion.
7.3.3 Changing the unit group properties
Access rights indicate which users and user groups may access units in the DTX Control system. Access rights also
indicate which actions are allowed. You can assign access rights from a unit group perspective, as described in this
section. Using this method, selected users and members of selected user groups are allowed or prohibited from initiating
certain actions on all units in the unit group.
Access rights for a unit group default to inherit if they are not explicitly granted to a user or user group. For example, if you
create unit group A and subgroup B, by default any access rights you assign to group A will be propagated to group B.
To change unit group properties:
1. Click the Units tab.
2. Click Groups in the top navigation bar. The Unit Groups window will open.
3. Click on the name of a unit group. The Unit Group Name window will open.
