Summary
When you distribute a profile, you send the modified and updated profile to selected segments or devices. To control which updates segments receive, you can create segment groups. Segment groups manage segments into specific groups within the system. You can then send profile updates, including all custom changes to filters, shared settings, action sets, and notification contacts according to the group. When distributing a profile, you can also select to distribute to the entire segment group, a single segment, several segments, or a combination of segments and segments groups.
