The defDataGroups element is the parent node for the default data groups. A default data group is one that is prelisted under the Data Groups page in the remote device Properties dialog box in the Device Definition Service (DDS).
Note: Default data groups only affect a remote device when it is created for the first time. Subsequent alterations of the device template file default data groups have no effect. Remote device copies only reflect the remote device as it appears in the remote device editors; its default data groups are not "reset."

The following table lists and describes attributes generally applicable to this element. However, not all of the attributes listed here are applicable to all EIEs. Additionally, some attributes are required for use in every device template file of a certain EIE, but others may be used on a case-by-case or device-by-device basis, depending on your specific needs. All attributes in templates are case sensitive; but the case sensitivity of attribute values is based on context.
Note: Occasionally, device template files for different EIEs use attributes of the same name that do different things. Efforts are made in this document to highlight cases where an attribute by one name does different things in different EIEs.
