Display the list of the hardware groups. A hardware group covers related device types and is therefore a coarse division of devices. Device types under a hardware group tend to have the same application or are related in their application. Each hardware group in the presented list redirects the user to the corresponding device list overview.
Clicking the "New Hardware Group" button redirects the user to a page with a form where a new hardware group can be entered.
This form allows a user to define a new hardware group. The form consists of the following fields:
Group Name | Full name for the new hardware group. This name will be used in the navigation bar and the hardware group overview. The name of a hardware group is a free string, so any kind of characters may be input. The field is required, however. |
Shortcode | Identifier for this hardware group. The shortcode is a 3-letter string and is meant to be used in situations where compact output is needed. The "Shortcode" field is a required field. |
The new hardware group is created by clicking the "Save" button; the "Reset" button is used to clear the fields in the form.
