About this task
Updating the contact information for a device group allows SupportAssist Enterprise to send notifications to the device group
contact.
NOTE: The device group contact information overrides the default contact information configured through the Settings
> Contact Information page. If an issue is detected on devices included in a group, SupportAssist Enterprise sends
notifications to the device group contact (not the default contact).

The Device Groups page is displayed.
2. Select a device group.

address.
NOTE: The device group parts dispatch information overrides the default parts dispatch information that you configured
through the Settings > Contact Information page. If resolving a problem requires replacing a part, the replacement
