How to Create Display Group Categories

Display Group Categories are the top-level labels used to organize your displays into logical groups — such as location, audience type, or department. Create these categories first before assigning displays to groups.

Before You Start

Plan your Display Group Categories based on how you want to organize your displays:

  • Audience type — Internal vs. External, or by department (e.g. Manufacturing, Office)

  • Location — by city (e.g. London, Berlin), country (e.g. UK, Germany), or building

  • Company hierarchy — by business unit or operational unit

Example categories:

  • Global → Internal, External

  • Country → UK, Germany, Finland

  • City → London, Berlin, Helsinki

  • Function → QEHS, HR, Production


How to create Display Group Categories

  1. The Display Groups section under My Account in the Valotalive Dashboard.

    Can't access this page?
    Your account may not have permission to manage Display Groups. Contact your company Admin - you can find their name under My Company → Organisation - and ask them to grant you the necessary permissions.

  2. Click Add to create a new Display Group Category header

    Adding a new Display Group Category header.

  3. Enter the category name (e.g. "Location", "Audience", "Department")

    These category headers are the top-level labels. In the next step, you will add specific group names (tags) under each category — for example, Category: Location → Tag: "New York".

  4. Repeat for each category you need

    Your completed Display Group Categories will look like this.

Next Step – Assign Displays to Display Groups

Once your categories are created, assign your displays to the relevant groups by adding tags.


Customizing the Display Order

Use the Order setting to control how displays are grouped in the Fleet Overview and Emergency Messages tabs.

  • Drag and drop rows to reorder the categories

  • The order also affects the column order in the Manage Display Groups view

The Manage Display Groups view is visible to the Super Admin by default. Access can be granted to others through assigned permissions.
