type, and other criteria.
You can create static and dynamic device groups:
• Static device group. A fixed group of specific devices that you add manually. For more
information, see
Add a static device group on page 45.
• Dynamic device group. A dynamic list of devices that are selected automatically based
on your filter selection criteria. For more information, see
