Go to **FactryOS > Downtime > Configuration > State transitions**.

Click **+ Create a new group**. A form opens with two required fields:

- **ID** — a unique identifier for this group (e.g. downtime\_tag2).
- **Description** — a readable label describing the equipment type or line this group covers.

Click **Confirm**. The new group appears in the dropdown at the top of the state transitions table.
