Simply add newly connected **Displays** to an existing **Display Group** to inherit schedules and to quickly start showing content. Group Displays by industry or location to make it easier to update and target content which differs by areas or purpose. Display Groups can contain a mix of singular **Displays** as well as other **Display Groups** to allow you to easily target the right Displays to show your content. For example, you could have Displays located within stores over different levels, intended to reach differing audiences so could have Display Groups that contain: * All Displays in store A * All Displays in store B * All Displays that are street facing * All Displays on level 1 * All Displays on level 2 * All internal Displays * All external Displays **Create Display Groups** and automatically assign **Displays** with matching criteria **dynamically** or **manually** selecting Display membership. * Click on **Add Display Group** from the Display Groups grid. ## Dynamic Groups To assign members dynamically, tick the **Dynamic Group** checkbox. * Set the **filter criteria** to use in the format of regular comma separated expressions or simple string comparisons. * Prefix expressions with a `-` to exclude from filters. For example, all Displays containing `a` but not `b` in the name would be `a, -b` * **Criteria Tags** can also be filtered using additional OR/AND filters for Displays with multiple Tags assigned. ## Manual Groups To assign members manually, leave the checkbox unticked and click to Save the form: * Use the row menu for the new Display Group record and select **Members** using the checkbox for each Display. The Relationship Tree shows the ancestors and descendants. Parent Display Groups, shown above the selected Group will pass their schedule down to the Displays groups underneath. ## Nested Groups Display Groups can be nested to simplify scheduling to allow sub-groups to inherit permissions from a parent group. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.xibosignage.com/displays/displays_groups.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
