With the help of device collections, you can organize devices within a network based on your own criteria and configure and deliver packages or deployments simultaneously on multiple devices across a network.
Device collections can be accessed from Manage > Identities or Devices > Memberships.
Two types of collections are available:
If you need a dynamical grouping which entails attributes other than Platform and Device, we recommend using the contexts feature. For more information, see Contexts.
The only built-in device collection is the All devices.
Selecting multiple rows from the table
- To select multiple adjacent rows, click on the first row, then hold down the Shift key and click on the last row in the range; all rows between will be selected.
- To select multiple non-adjacent rows, hold down the Ctrl key (or "Command" on Mac) and click on each row you want to select individually.
- To select multiple adjacent rows using the mouse only, click and hold the left mouse button on the first row, then drag the cursor up or down across the rows to highlight the desired ones.
- Selecting rows using only the keyboard is not possible.
Keep in mind that only devices running an Application Workspace Agent/ a Liquit Workspace Agent can be added to a collection.
The Type of a collection (Dynamic, Static) cannot be changed after creation.

Table toolbar
To create a new device collection, click on the Create button; to view the details of a device collection or edit it, double-click its entry or select the collection and click the
Edit button.
From the table toolbar you can also access the Wake devices and create personalized views of the list, all of which are described in the following sections.
Wake devices
If the server is in the same LAN as devices, the Wake devices button is able to wake computers that are shutdown or in sleep mode (WoL). If the server is in the cloud, the
Wake devices button does not function.
Views
Views gives you control on how the table is displayed.
The default view contains all your device collections in alphabetic ascending order, and only a few columns: Name, Type, and Built-in.
You can create your own personalized view of the table, by filtering the device collections or adding/deleting columns and clicking Save as in the drop-down menu of Views.
