This topic includes procedures for adding, editing, and deleting groups in the Device and Systems Structure.

This topic outlines how to manually add, edit, and delete individual device groups in VertiGIS FM. You can alternatively import your own internal record of device groups into the VertiGIS FM database using a CSV or XML file. This option is ideal for adding, editing, or deleting large quantities of device groups simultaneously (for example, to establish an initial record of your device groups in the VertiGIS FM database).
