Group management
When you select multiple devices on the Network Overview page, you can perform group management actions. You can apply actions to a group of FortiGate and FortiWifi devices, simplifying administrative tasks. If you only select paid devices, the dropdown list displays all available actions. If your selection includes a free device, only the Schedule Report and Set Display Time Zone options are available. Some group management actions require that you enable management on the selected device. See Management.
Some actions are not unique to group management and are described elsewhere in this document in the context of use on a single device. For descriptions of these functions, see the following topics:
