Grouping units by unit group

• Personal - A personal unit group may only be viewed by the user who created it. Up to 32
personal unit groups may be created by a user.
• Global - A global unit group may be viewed by any user logged in to the DSView software.
Personal unit groups will appear in the Personal Unit Groups window and global unit groups will
appear in the Global Unit Groups window. You may specify the number of unit groups that display
in each window by using the Customize link. See Using the Customize link in windows on page 14
for more information.
Units may belong to multiple groups. For example, you may have a DSR1021 switch that belongs
to two global groups and three personal groups.
You may add and remove the unit access rights for a unit group. See Changing Unit Access Rights
on page 91 for more information.
