Patch management filter profile by device type
It would be really important to be able to filter devices by device type (eg. Servers, Workstations) when applying a Patch management profile. Now it simply impossible to create a profile that automatically(!) applies to different device types.

"IT automation by device type
When applying automation profiles, there seems to be 3 selection options: Companies, individual agents, and folders.
The problem with adding a company is that it will apply the same profile to PCs and servers.
The problem with individual agents is that it is cumbersome and error prone when adding multiple agents.
The problem with folders is that they also must be managed manually to make sure of the correct membership." (My remark: And folders should be created for every client manually which is way too tedious, and also can't have a "Server" folder for all servers across all clients)
The only solution would be to create two companies for the same client. One for Servers and one for Workstations.
There are other ideas shared here, which are very similar to this one, but concerning other areas of Atera:
- Dynamic (filtered) folders: This one might be the solution for this point: "The problem with folders is that they also must be managed manually to make sure of the correct membership"
- Abilty to filter the devices list
It seems from other ideas as well that advanced filtering concerns a lot of Atera users in all areas of the software. And these advanced filters should be appliable to every profile Atera uses.
