Create and Manage Custom Groups
Summary: This article provides information about how to create and manage custom groups to help customize your online support experience.
Instructions
My Groups allow you to customize your online support experience by creating a unique filter of products and/or locations to personalize your view in many areas of our online support site such as MyService360. You can create custom groupings by individual products or by locations and/or product families.
There are two build flows a user can leverage:
-
Automatic - The group is created using either locations, product families, or a combination of the two. Any additional products appearing in the ecosystem matching the group build would automatically be included after the group is built.
-
Manual - The group is created by selecting specific products from the ecosystem. The asset visibility will remain the same unless manually changed.
