Fleets

The Fleets menu contains few features, but has a central role in the organization of devices.

A fleet is a group of devices which go together as a unit, and share a configuration via a Profile.

You may create multiple fleets and assign different or equal profiles to them, in order to manage your groups of devices as you see fit.

From this menu you can:

  • List all existing fleets and search through them with filters;
  • Add or edit a fleet (by assigning a name and an associated profile);
  • Delete a fleet (only possible if no devices are associated with it);
  • Export fleet-related data.

Note

If you modify a fleet, all the devices associated to it will be considered as Not Synchronized since they need to retrieve their new configuration. Once they synchronize and apply all changes correctly, the device will be considered as Synchronized. See Dashboard - Sync Status for more information.
