​Add and edit subgroups

Subgroups are a great way to keep your devices organized. Learn more here.

In this article: 

Why should I create subgroups?

To keep devices organized, we recommend you to add one or several subgroups to your group.

​

This way, you can also manage which users have access to which devices.

​

Subgroups are the orange tiles in a group marked with a name.

Why should I create subgroups

​An example

You own 45 devices. 

​

10 of the devices track the position and mileage on trailers. You give your trailer responsible access to your subgroup for trailers.

​

20 of the devices track utilization data on excavators. You give your whole excavator team access to your subgroup for excavators.

​

15 of the devices are used on a daily basis on rental equipment for theft protection. You give your rental responsible access to your subgroup for rental equipement.

​

Now that you have organized the devices in subgroups, you can multi-edit all devices in one subgroup at once.

​How to create subgroups

There are two ways to create a group.

​

  • Go to My devices and click on the tile Add group on the group dashboard

  • Go to Users and click New group on the left side under the Derek logo.

 

Fill in the name of the new group and press Save.

​

Note that the field Parent specifies the group to which your new group will be assigned.

​

You can create additional subgroups by going to your newly created group and pressing the Add group tile at this level as well.

​

You can create as many subgroups or subgroups of subgroups as you like.

​How to delete a subgroup

To delete a subgroup, click Edit group in the subgroup you wish to delete.

​

First you need to make sure that there is no subgroups or devices in the subgroup.

​

If you can see the Delete button, you are able to delete the group because it is completely empty.

​

If you do not see the Delete button, actions need to be taken:

​

  • Move devices to another subgroup

  • Move subgroups in this subgroup to another (sub)group

  • Give users, who only have access to this subgroup, access to another subgroup
