Creating General Settings for Device Groups

Situation Description

Interaction with devices within the SmartPlayer platform has entered the next stage of development. Now users can create and apply settings to multiple device groups. Below, you’ll find a description of how to create general settings for device groups.

Preliminary Settings

For a user to create settings for device groups, they must be logged into the SmartPlayer dashboard. The user can either use previously created device groups or create several new device groups.
New device groups can be created by going to the "Devices" section in the dashboard and selecting "Add Group."

Example of the "Devices" section and "Add Group" category in the SmartPlayer dashboard

Each device group should contain at least one device that is online.

Functionality Usage Algorithm

After creating a device group, users can view the groups in the dashboard and select them via checkboxes for further interaction.

Example of the "Devices" section and "Add Group" category in the SmartPlayer dashboard

After selecting the desired device groups, users must, as a final step, go to the right-side toolbar and select "General Settings" to configure parameters for the selected device group.

Example of the "General Settings" section for device groups in the SmartPlayer dashboard

If users wish to apply general settings to multiple device groups, a warning window will be displayed, notifying that the current settings of each device in each group will be reset.

A list of configurable parameters is provided below.

List of Configurable Parameters

Once the "General Settings" section is open, users will see a page displaying the following data:

• List of operating systems used on the devices in the group - shown on the left, allowing users to select the operating systems of devices within the group to configure each one separately
• List of device settings parameters - this settings list is identical to the settings list for each individual device in the SmartPlayer dashboard
