All Devices page — device list actions
On the All Devices page (OpenManage Enterprise > Devices) devices list, you can perform various device actions.
The action buttons are context sensitive to both the group selection from the tree on the left and also for the devices selected
in the grid. So if the action is group related, for example group actions such as 'Run Inventory on Group' roup and 'Refresh
Health on Group' — will default to the selected group. All device actions will default to the selected devices. However, few
actions such as Discovery are always applicable without any selection. Also, the type of actions available per device depend on
the type of device selected.
NOTE: To perform any tasks on OpenManage Enterprise, you must have necessary role-based user privileges and scope-
based operational access to the devices. See Role and scope-based access control in OpenManage Enterprise on page 15.
