This article explains how to utilize device groups to effectively manage devices

To more-effectively manage devices that share similar settings or applications, put them into the same device group. You can group devices together based on location (store, city, region), business type (retail vs. outlet, bar/restaurant vs. quick service), or even customer account. Once created, a group will initially inherit all default settings from the account. But if changes are made to the group, they effectively overwrite the account-level settings.

Creating a Device Group and Establishing Group Settings

1. Login to the EloView website – https://manage.eloview.com


2. In the “Devices” section, click the Device Groups + button.

•  Note: a device can only be assigned to a single group

5. Click the Yes button to confirm



6. Click the Settings icon next to the group name



7. On the “Settings” tab, click the Edit button



8. Establish all appropriate settings that will apply group-wide (across all devices within the group).
