HP WEB JETADMIN DEVICE GROUPS
As stated above, lists of specific devices are displayed through HP Web Jetadmin Device Groups. In
cases where the application has discovered thousands of devices, it is advantageous to segment
devices into smaller groups. In HP Web Jetadmin, Groups are populated using either Manual or
Automatic methods. Manual group membership is managed by users who can add or remove
devices. Automatic groups are populated with devices based on user specified filter criteria. In either
case, application performance and ease of device management can be enhanced by using groups.
For more information on HP Web Jetadmin Groups, see the online Help.
Device group policies
Create policies for automatically
applying various types of operations on
devices. Figure 3, at right, shows the Edit
Group Policies wizard, which offers
templates created from the various
feature sets. The templates are applied
when devices are added to or removed
from a group.
Polices that can be created on a per-
group basis include:
Enable data collection
Configure devices
Upgrade printer or HP Jetdirect
firmware
Manage device solutions
Subscribe/unsubscribe to alerts on
devices
Remove devices from supply group
NOTE In many cases, templates must be created before a group policy can be applied.

TEMPLATES
Templates are named objects for storing
HP Web Jetadmin feature settings.
Templates can be applied by a user
through a schedule or, in many cases,
using the Groups Policy feature.
Discovery, Alerts, Data Collections,
Reports, and Configuration can all have
associated templates. In the case of Data
Collection, time can be saved in adding
devices to multiple collection types by
using a Data Collection Template.
Figure 4, at right, shows a confirmation
pane for a Data Collection Template that
combines By User Tracking, Supply
Utilization, and Peak Usage data
