Create an Asset Group

Assets which are on a Map can be organized into groups, organizing them in Project Explorer and allowing them to be moved across a Map as a unit. For example, all of the assets used to manage the entrance on a building might include: a door, intercom, reader, and camera. Grouping these within a project allows for the assets to be more easily managed.

To create an asset group:

  1. Open the Map containing the assets.
  2. Select the assets to be grouped together. This can be done by either:
    1. Pressing CTRL and clicking each asset.
    2. Clicking and dragging over the assets.
  3. Right-click and select Group.
  4. Once the group is created, you can name it.
    1. Select the group in Project Explorer.
    2. In Properties set the Group Name to the desired value.

The grouped assets can now be viewed under their group name in the Project Explorer. Selecting the group name from here or any of the asset icons also selects all assets within the group, allowing for them to be easily moved around the Map together. If any of the icons are deleted, all of the icons and the group itself will be removed from the Map.

Note: Selecting a group then copying/pasting will result in a new group being created with a copy of its icons.
