        Configuring your new device group

        1. Enter a Group Name. Choose something simple that describes the device group or device group function. This name will appear in group widgets in your Live environment.
        2. Enter a Group Unique Code. You can add free text to this field. This code is relevant for Device-Group-Device functionality
        3. Choose whether to add a Description for your group.
        4. Set your Device Time Zone, or use the default UTC. Configure the correct zone to ensure data is synced accurately in projects across multiple time zones. 
          • Time zones for each user are updated automatically in their live environment based on the time zone set on their desktop.
        5. Select a Parent Group if you want your new device group located within a device hierarchy. Select parent group 'none' if this is a top-level group.
        6. Choose whether to upload a Map Icon for visualizing your device group. If using, we recommend dimensions 30px on 30px.
        7. Click '+Add device(s)' to create a new device. To see all devices in the group, click the radio button next to each device. Three icons will appear in the bottom-right of the page, allowing you to:
          • Delete (trash icon): note you can't undo this action.
          • Create Device Actions: run actions on devices, e.g., firmware updates, reboots, or factory resets.
          • Move Devices: Click the group icon and choose 'move to an existing group' or 'add a new group'.
