Managing Storage with STM
• When creating a device, if you do not associate it with a group you have
defined, and then it will be associated with the default group Unassigned.
Once you have associated a device with at least one group, the
association with the unassigned group is dropped.
• Only a user with administrator privileges can see the "Unassigned"
group.
Managing Groups
To access the Groups function from the left navigation tree:
1. Click the Groups option in the drop-down menu that appears under the
Administration folder of the STM tree menu at the left side of the screen.
The Groups screen will appear, listing all groups previously created.
Note: subgroups appear indented.
From this screen you can create, edit and delete your groups and subgroups.
To create a new group:
1. Click Add Group and go to the Creating Groups section.
To create a new subgroup:
1. Click Add Sub Group and go to the Creating Groups section.
To edit a group, click the edit icon next to group you want to edit. The screen that
appears is identical to the Create New Group screen, except you will be not be
able to edit the group name.
To delete a group, click the trash icon next to the group you want to delete. Note
that all associations with devices and users are deleted when you delete a group.
If a device is not associated with any other group than the one you are deleting, it
will be associated with the default Unassigned group.
Creating Groups
To create a new group
1. Click Add Group on the Groups screen.
2. Type the name of the new group in the Group Name field.
3. Select from the available categories.
Summary of Categories:

multiple groups.
