Using existing WDM views
To create groups and devices using one of the existing Wyse Device Manager (WDM) views:
1 On the View and WES Proles screen, click the Create radio button.
A drop-down list with the groups assigned to the selected view (except All Devices) is displayed. By default, all the groups under the
view are selected for migration.
2 From the drop-down list, select a view and click Next.
NOTE:
• You can only select a view with nine or less levels of the group hierarchy.
• If there are group levels with empty values, then the group levels are renamed to NotSet. However, if the group levels are
missing in WDM, then they are assigned to the available parent.
• If there are resources for wallpaper and wireless in prole/conguration, the resource lenames are prexed with the
conguration package name in WDM. For example,
packagename_resourcename.
3 Select any of the following options based on your requirement:
• Groups—By default, the Groups check box is selected.
• Devices—If you want to import devices that are already associated to the selected view in WDM, then select the Devices check
box, and click Next.
• WES Proles—If you want to import a Windows-based prole that is already assigned to the selected view in WDM, select the
WES Proles check box, and click Next.
The screen displays the group hierarchy with devices and proles that are assigned to each group.
NOTE
: You can select both Devices and WES Proles check boxes if you want to assign both devices and WES proles to
the selected view.
All conguration assignments in WDM are selected, and you cannot modify. Actual assignment of device conguration to specic
groups can be performed only using the Build option. For more information—see Using default WDM group types.
Follow step 4 to continue the import process—see Importing view and Windows-based proles.
Using WDM default group types
To create groups and devices using WDM default group types, or to create a group hierarchy in Wyse Management Suite and that grouping
is not assigned as a view in WDM:
1 On the View and WES Proles screen, click the Build radio button.
A drop-down list with all the default group types in WDM is displayed. The order determines the group hierarchy structure.
To create the group hierarchy, you can select a maximum of nine levels. The Default Policy Group is available as a default option in the
Wyse Management Suite. The group hierarchy is part of Default Policy Group. Therefore, the total hierarchy depth in Wyse
Management Suite can be maximum of 10 including Default Policy Group. After you dynamically create a group hierarchy using WDM
default groups, you can assign the Conguration Packages to the group.
NOTE
:
• All Devices view in WDM cannot be imported.
• You cannot assign more than one WDM Conguration Package to a group.
• You can have multiple views in WDM, but you can import only one view to the Wyse Management Suite. If you do not want to
import an existing view from WDM, then create a group hierarchy using the Build option, and complete the import activity.
• When you do not have proles assigned to views, and you use an individual JSON Conguration Package in WDM, then select
and assign the Conguration Packages to the groups.
2 From the drop-down list, select a group type. If you want to create a group hierarchy, click the plus sign (+) next to the drop-down list,
and start adding the group types. If you select a default group type from the list at any level, the same group type is not listed again for
selection.
