4 Units View Windows
Units View windows display list of units that have been added to the DTX Control database.
A user must have unit view access rights to open Units View windows. Also, units will not display if they are hidden.
Each Units View window contains one or more information fields.
Units are displayed in a table format with column headings. Use the checkbox to the left of each unit name to
select/deselect the unit for an operation. To select all the units on a page, click the checkbox at the left of all the column
headings at the top of the list - this is usually to the left of the Name column. Clicking this Select All checkbox will
automatically enable the checkboxes for all units on that page. To deselect items that were previously selected, click on
the checkbox.
When you click the checkbox at the top of the list, all units on the current page are selected (or deselected if they were
previously all selected). If the list of units spans more than one page, units on subsequent pages will not be selected. You
can specify how many items will appear on a Units View page (that is, the number of rows).
4.1 Types of Units View Windows
There are four types of Units View windows, which are accessed by clicking tabs and side navigation bar links.
Any Units View window that contains managed appliances may also be viewed using the topology feature, which
displays a hierarchical structure.
• All Appliances: The Appliances - All window lists all managed appliances.
• Appliance Type: Appliance Type windows list all managed appliances of a particular type. The Appliance Type links
in the side navigation bar are listed under Appliances - All.
An appliance type will only be listed in the side navigation bar if an appliance of that type has been added to the
DTX Control database and the user has access to it.
• Target Devices: If target device types have been created, their links in the side navigation bar are listed under Target
Devices - All.
• Mixed Views: Mixed view windows may contain managed appliances, target devices or both. Several links in the side
navigation bar will open mixed view Units View windows.
• Recently Accessed - Units that the user has accessed most recently.
• Groups - Units that have been assigned to a personal or global unit group.
• Sites - Units that have been assigned to a site.
• Departments - Units that have been assigned to a department.
• Locations - Units that have been assigned to a location.
• Custom fields - Units that have been assigned to custom groups. These group names may also have custom
field labels.
