System: Generate Smart Groups

Generate Smart Groups (SMARTGRPS via script) is a system-level command that triggers the service to auto-generate General or Station groups based on specified conditions. These conditions are defined by configuring Smart Group definitions and rules that govern the automatic creation of General or Station groups when the command is run.

You must have proper security authorization to execute this command. See FMS Security (and CMDSYS security event) for information about configuring security access for FMS commands.

See Configuring Smart Group Definitions and Running Generate Smart Groups Commands for more information about using this command via FMS Explorer.

See Scheduling FMS Command Tasks in the MSS for more information about scheduling commands.

See FMS ActiveX Controls and CxHmiFms for more information about using commands via FMS ActiveX controls on CygNet Studio or CygNet Vision screens.

See CxFms for more information about scripting commands.
