Devicegroup actions

Actions in device groups

Introduction

With Relution 5.22, it is possible to trigger not only policies but also actions and CRON jobs through membership of device groups. This function will replace the policies in the medium term. Old policies will not be transferred to the new functionality.

Device groups are platform-independent. For this reason, it may not be possible to apply individual actions to certain devices The basic functionality of device groups is explained here: Device groups →

Event-based

  1. Actions can be applied to the corresponding device either when entering, leaving or in both cases.
  2. The action can be sent to the device immediately or with a time delay.
