A Segment Group is a grouping of device segments, physical or virtual, that are set up in a specific combination that allows users to maintain settings and files distribution. Users can then associate a particular profile of filters to the segment group. These groups can be used to provide greater management and distribution of profiles and updates for Digital Vaccine, package, TOS software, and SMS software. Through the Devices >Segment Groups screen, you can create and manage groups of device segments.
Note: A segment can only be a member of one group and have only one distributed profile at any given time. You cannot add a segment to multiple groups. However, you can have many profiles point to the same segment. When you distribute a profile the segment replaces the currently used profile.
