Replication groups

A replication group abstracts a tag from a schedule. You can assign multiple summary tags to a single replication group.

Multiple groups can be assigned to a single schedule. This simplifies maintenance. If you need to edit the schedule (for example, change the time of day for a shift end), you only need to edit the replication schedule, not the individual groups or summary tag configurations.

A replication group must be unique for a type of summary tag, either analog or state. You can, however, have the same group name for analog summary tags as you do for state summary tags. You can also have the same replication group defined in multiple servers.
