How do group addresses get transferred to the network

I'm wondering when I make changes in a toolkit file, like creating new group addresses and triggers when I'm not connected to the network , how does it get transferred to the network ?
I know that I can transfer unit programming to network , but how do I transfer group addresses created offline to the network ?

 

When you are off line to cbus network and you make changes in toolkit they are only in the toolkit data base you need to conect to cbus network then save to network those changes.

 

I know how to save unit programming to network , but how do you save newly created group addresses to network ?

 

You don't. Group addresses only exist in units. You save the unit. The group addresses in Toolkit just allow you to associate names with numbers for us humans. There is no list of group addresses (or names) saved in the network.

 

but you can have group addresses not used in units, like a trigger control or a dummy group address
when I'm programming offline, and create trigger controls etc , what do I need to do when I get to site ?

 

If the group address is not going to be used in a unit like a relay, key input etc and only used in a shac or NAC then you don't need to worry about it being transferred to the network as there is nowhere for it to go

 

Exactly. The SHAC, Touchscreen etc are still just units that are programmed with a different app. If no unit you program via toolkit uses the trigger control, it doesn't even need to be in the toolkit database, although it's a good ides to keep everything in sync.
