User can export the device credentials, change them using a spreadsheet application, and import them back. 

TIP: If you need to change the credentials for devices in bulk, this method can be used to do that. 

Grouping 

Cisco Prime Infrastructure provides the following types of grouping: 

● 

—By default, Cisco Prime Infrastructure creates rule-based device groups and assigns 

devices to the appropriate Device Type folder. You cannot edit these device groups. The device type 

groups are not used for network topology maps. 

● 

—Create location-based groups. Location groups allow you to group devices by location. 

You can create a hierarchy of location groups (such as theater, country, region, campus, building, and floor) 

by adding devices manually or dynamically.
