View and update device group information

About this task

You can view or edit the group name and description, contact information, preferred contact method and time, the parts dispatch information of a device group, and add or remove devices from a group.

Updating the contact information for a device group enables SupportAssist to send notifications to the device group contact.
NOTE: The device group parts dispatch information overrides the default parts dispatch information that you configured on the Settings > Contact Information page. If resolving a problem requires replacing a part, the replacement part is shipped with your consent to the device group parts dispatch address (not the default parts dispatch address).
NOTE: If the Technical Support staff determines that a part must be replaced in your system to resolve a support case, the replacement part is dispatched with your consent to the provided address.
