Expand all | Collapse all

If client devices within a group are inactive, you can get notifications about it. You can also automatically delete such devices.

To view or configure the actions when the devices in the group show inactivity:

1. In the main menu, go to Asset management → Hierarchy of groups.
2. Go to the properties of the required administration group in one of the following ways:
   • Click the name of the administration group.
   • Click the Show hierarchy button at the top of the page. In the navigation pane that opens, hover the mouse cursor over the name of the required group, and then click the settings icon ().

   

   The hierarchy of administration groups

   The administration group properties window opens.

3. In the properties window, go to the Settings tab.
4. In the Inheritance section, enable or disable the following options:
   • Inherit from parent group

     The settings in this section will be inherited from the parent group in which the client device is included. If this option is enabled, the settings under Device activity on the network are locked from any changes.

     This option is available only if the administration group has a parent group.

     By default, this option is enabled.

   • Force inheritance of settings in child groups

     The setting values will be distributed to child groups but in the properties of the child groups these settings are locked.

     By default, this option is disabled.

     By default, this option is enabled.

   • Remove the device from the group if it has been inactive for longer than (days)

     If this option is enabled, you can specify the time interval after which the device is automatically removed from the group. The default time interval is 60 days.
