# Managing devices and groups

The device list on the left of **Devices and settings** is where you choose the device to configure and keep your fleet organized. As fleets grow, search, tags, and groups make it fast to find the right device and to apply settings consistently.

## Finding a device

* **Search by name**: Type in the search box to filter the list to matching device labels.
* **Filter by tag**: Narrow the list to devices carrying a selected tag.
* **Browse by group**: Groups expand and collapse, and their state is remembered between sessions.

## Managing groups

Groups let you organize devices by department, function, site, or any scheme that fits your fleet.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Create a group

Add a new group and give it a name (up to **60 characters**) and a color so it stands out in the list.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Rename or recolor

Edit an existing group's name (up to **60 characters**) or change its color at any time.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Delete a group

Remove a group you no longer need. If the group still contains devices, you're prompted to move them to another group first so no device is left ungrouped.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Tags and groups are complementary: a device belongs to **one group** but can carry **multiple tags**. Use groups for primary organization and tags for cross-cutting filters.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://navixy.com/docs/user/guide/devices-and-settings/managing-devices-and-groups.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
