WorksManager - Grouping Devices

    Hi Development Team,

    We have had a few customers in recent months asking for a feature that allows data to be uploaded in "groups" rather then individual machines/devices. 

    Many of these request come from the TBC workflow as they are unable to select individual devices when pushing data out to the field (from TBC). Some customers have 70+ machines running 50-70 designs on any one job and it would be nice to be able to have the design be pushed into pre-determined groups within WorksManager. This way, field devices and machines would be easily defined and a design could be pushed to said group of machines. 

    This is not isolated to TBC users as we have this request from non TBC users also. I understand you pick the devices from a list when uploading designs through WorksManager but having this refined to groups of devices would make the workflow easier. It would also help with issues when Users want to split say a large road job into sections and the geo-fence/ multiple projects approach isn't effective/ proactive to manage.  

    Interested to hear if there has been a request like this in the past and if this would be viable in a future releases.

    Hi Matt

    We appreciate your valuable feedback. An enhancement request has been submitted, and we will endeavor to address this in future releases.

    I've suggested this pretty exactly 3 years ago and I'm very confident that we communicated that to UPG during the course of the Cairns job.

    TBC is definitely lacking some of the works manager workflows found in the web browser. Being able to select what machine type or data collector to publish to from TBC would be a good addition. The groups could be useful as well as publishing to all devices from TBC has some drawbacks such as designs going to non-intended devices.
