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

Add a Subgroup

You can create a new subgroup on its group's details page.

To Add a Subgroup

1.Navigate to the group details page for the group in which you want to create a new subgroup.

3.Enter an identification key for the subgroup in the Asset Identification Key text box.

4.Enter a name for the subgroup in the Name text box.

5.Click Save or Save and Close.

The Subgroups section on the group's details page now shows the new subgroup.
