personal unit groups may be created by a user.
• Global - A global unit group may be viewed by any user logged in to the DSView software.
Personal unit groups will appear in the Personal Unit Groups window and global unit groups will

in each window by using the

to two global groups and three personal groups.
You may add and remove the unit access rights for a unit group. See Changing Unit Access Rights
