# Creating a Printer Group

## Introduction

The Workforce Experience Platform (WXP) provides a printer grouping capability to help you organize your fleet and efficiently apply management policies across multiple devices. This article explains how to create a printer group, define optional group rules, and complete the group setup process.

## Target Audience

- IT administrators who onboard and manage printers
- Printer Administrators who onboard and manage printers

## Create a New Printer Group

To create a new printer group:

1. In the **Printers** tab of the Groups screen, click **Create group**. The Group details page of the Create printer group wizard appears.
2. Enter the following information about the group:

- **Group name**: A unique name for the group.
- **Description**: Optional. A short description of the group.

1. If you want to create group rules that WXP uses to automatically move newly onboarded printers into the group, check the **Add group rules to automatically assign ungrouped printers to this group** option.

If you uncheck this setting, a static group is created, so you’ll need to manually add printers to it. In this case, skip to Step 9 to complete the group creation.

1. Click **Next**. The **Group rules** page appears.
2. Define a group rule by entering the following details:

- **Property**: An identifying property for the printer.
- **Operator**: Select one of Contains, Equals, Starts with, or Not equal.
- **Value**: A value corresponding to the property.

1. To add additional rules, click **+Add another rule**, then repeat Step 5. You can add up to five rules for a group.
2. Optionally, click **Calculate** to see the number of currently ungrouped printers that match your rule set.
3. Click **Next**. The **Review page** appears.
4. Review the Group details, then click **Create group**. The group is added to the Groups list.
