Creating Wireless Groups
========================

A **Wireless Group** is any detected amount of **SSIDs** that are grouped
together due to conditions or properties that have been set as identifiers.
This is to help Network Administrators quickly navigate to specific **SSIDs**
or **Categories** when dealing with a large quantity of SSIDs.

Create a WLAN Group
-------------------

#. Go to **Policy** in the top panel
#. Go to **Group > WLAN** in the left Policy panel
#. Click **Tasks > Create**

Under **General**:

#. For **ID**, enter a unique name
#. For **Description**, type what this group consists of
#. For **Status**, select **Enabled** from the drop-down list.
#. For **Generating Logs** turn **On** to show logs when SSIDs are added to the
   group

Under **Condition**:

#. For **Boolean Operator**, choose **AND** to match all conditions, or **OR**
   to match any conditions
#. For **Conditions** click **Add** to add conditions

Under **Settings**:

These are conditional settings that allow you to be specific in identifying
SSIDs:

#. For **Criteria**, you can select MAC, Protocol, SSID, Security Settings,
   Tag, and more
#. For **Operator**, allows you to choose equal to, not equal to, contains,
   does not contain, and more
#. For **Value**, type in some value to match what your searching for
#. For **Description**, type what this condition does
#. Click **Add**
#. Click **Save**

Assign a WLAN Tag
-----------------

You can Tag SSIDs to help categorize them and to build Policies using these
Tags:

#. Go to **Management > WLAN** in the top panel
#. Find and click **Checkbox** of desired **SSIDs**
#. Click **Tasks > Edit WLAN Tag Settings**

Under **Assign WLAN Tag**

#. In drop-down select **Assign Selected Tags**
#. Click **Checkbox** of tag to apply
#. Click **Save**
#. Click **Apply**

Assign a WLAN Group
-------------------

You can group SSIDs that are similar to each other based off of Tags, SSID
Name, Vendor, Security Settings, Protocol, and more.

#. Go to **Management > WLAN** in the top panel
#. Find and click **Checkbox** of desired **SSIDs**
#. Click **Tasks > Edit WLAN Group Settings**

Under **Assign WLAN Group**

#. For **Action**, select **Add** or **Remove**
#. For **WLAN ID**, select **SSID, MAC,** or **MAC+SSID**
#. For **WLAN Group**, group to associate to
#. Click **Save**
#. Click **Apply**

Group by Network Sensor
-----------------------

If you have many Network Sensors, it is difficult to manage all of these in one
list. Here you have the ability to create groups and assign **Network Sensors**
to them.

#. Go to **Management > WLAN** in the top panel
#. Click **Edit Tree icon** in the top right corner
#. Right click on either **WLAN AP** or **WLAN Client**, click **Create** (*New
   node group will appear for you to rename*)
#. Right click on newly created group and click **Assign**
#. Search for **Network Sensor** and select each **Checkbox** you want to add
   to this group
#. Click **OK**

.. note:: If you have a presence around the world you can create **Country
   Groups** and add **Network Sensors** that are located within those countries.
