3.7.2 Device management
All MOBATime network devices are displayed in the so-called device view. Here, the
devices can be grouped according to user-defined criteria. For this, the individual
devices can simply be moved to the according groups and sorted using drag and drop.
There is no limit to the number of groups and sub-groups.
Besides the organizational advantages (easier locating, better
overview), a device group has the following advantages:

commands and device updates can be applied to the whole
group (including sub-groups).

Alarms and errors of included devices are displayed on the
group level.

Complete groups can be moved / sorted among
themselves.
The content of the device view can be saved and opened at a
later time. The created structure and breakdown into groups is
preserved.
