Create groups and profiles using WDM default group types

Use the Build option to create groups and profiles using WDM default group types. You can create a group hierarchy in Wyse Management Suite provided that grouping is not assigned as a view in WDM.
  1. On the View and WES Profiles/ThreadX_5X Configurations screen, click the Build radio button. A drop-down list with all the default group types in WDM is displayed. The order determines the group hierarchy structure.

    To create the group hierarchy, you can select a maximum of nine levels. The Default Policy Group is available as a default option in the Wyse Management Suite. The group hierarchy is part of Default Policy Group. Therefore, the total hierarchy depth in Wyse Management Suite can be maximum of 10 including Default Policy Group. After you dynamically create a group hierarchy using WDM default groups, you can assign the Configuration Packages to the group.

    • NOTE: All Devices view in WDM cannot be imported. You can have multiple views in WDM, but you can import only one view to the Wyse Management Suite. If you do not want to import an existing view from WDM, create a group hierarchy using the Build option.
    • NOTE: You cannot assign more than one WDM Configuration Package to a group. If you do not have profiles assigned to views, and you use an individual JSON Configuration Package in WDM, then assign the Configuration Packages to groups.
  2. From the drop-down list, select a group type. If you want to create a group hierarchy, click the plus sign (+) next to the drop-down list, and start adding the group types. If you select a default group type from the list at any level, the same group type is not listed again for selection.
    • NOTE: If there are group levels with empty values, then the group levels are renamed to NotSet. However, if the group levels are missing in WDM, then they are assigned to the available parent.
    • NOTE: If there are resources for wallpaper and wireless in profile/configuration, the resource filenames are prefixed with the configuration package name in WDM. For example, packagename_resourcename.
  3. Select any of the following options based on your requirement:
    • Groups—By default, the Groups check box is selected.
    • Devices—To associate devices to a group in the created view, select the Devices check box, and click Next.
    • WES Profiles—To assign a Windows-based profile to a group in the created view:
      1. Select the WES Profiles check box, and click Next.
      2. From the Profile drop-down list, select a profile.
      3. From the Group drop-down list, select a group.
      To add more profiles and groups, click the plus sign (+) next to the drop-down list, and start adding profiles and groups. When you are creating the group hierarchy, select only up to nine group levels. This is because the maximum number of groups does not exceed the supported levels of Wyse Management Suite.

      You can select both Devices and WES Profiles check boxes if you want to assign both devices and Windows-based profiles to the created view.
