Adjacency groups

Adjacency groups allow the applications to understand which devices are physically close to one another. Using this context, the applications can automatically generate ad hoc views that present nearby devices together. This helps users quickly access the most relevant evidence, improving situational awareness and enable appropriate decision-making. For more information about the adjacency group concept, see the technical reference.
