Copying a device

Use the copy feature to create a shortcut to the device in another group, much like a Windows shortcut. The copy provides access to the original device from a group other than the original group in which it is located.

To copy a device:

1. From the WhatsUp Gold web interface, in the Details View or Map View, right-click the device for which you want to copy. The right-click menu appears.
2. Click Copy. The Select a Device Group dialog appears.
3. Select the group that you want to copy the device into, then click OK. The group that you copied the device to opens.

Tip: You can also drag-and-drop to copy device(s) from one group to another. Select the device(s) you want to copy, then drag-and-drop to the group where you want the device copied.
