● G—The number of events generated in the alerts log. Also, based on your settings to whether or not view the
unacknowledged alerts, the number of alerts in this section varies. By default, only the unacknowledged alerts are displayed.
To hide or unhide the acknowledged alerts, see Customize the alert display on page 143. Deleting the alerts reduces the
count. For information about symbols that are used to indicate severity statuses, see Device health statuses on page 37.
Click a severity symbol to view all events in that severity category on the Alerts page. To view all the events, click All
events. See Managing device alerts.

Data about items that are listed in a table can be comprehensively viewed, exported in total, or based on selected items. See
Export all or selected data on page 47. When displayed in blue text, in-depth information about items in a table can be viewed
and updated, which either opens in the same window or on a separate page. Tabulated data can be filtered by using the
Advanced Filters feature. The filters vary based on the content you view. Enter or select data from the fields. Incomplete text
or numbers will not display the expected output. Data matching the filter criteria is displayed in the list. To remove filters, click
Clear All Filters.
To sort data in a table, click the column title. You cannot sort or export data that is retrieved by using the Search Everything
feature.
Symbols are used to identify major main items, dashboard, status of device health, alert category, firmware and driver
compliance status, connection state, power status, and others. Click the forward and backward buttons of the browser to
navigate between pages on OpenManage Enterprise. For information about supported browsers, see the Dell EMC OpenManage
Enterprise Support Matrix available on the support site.
Where appropriate, the page is split into left, working, and right panes to simplify the task of device management. Where
necessary, online instructions and tool-tips are displayed when the pointer is paused over a GUI element.
Preview about a device, job, inventory, firmware/driver baseline, management application, virtual console, and so on, are
displayed in the right pane. Select an item in the working pane and click View Details in the right pane to view in-depth
information about that item.
When logged in, all pages are automatically refreshed. After deploying the appliance, during subsequent login, if an updated
version of OpenManage Enterprise is available, you are alerted to update the version immediately by clicking Update. Users with
all the OpenManage Enterprise privileges (Administrator, Device Manager, and Viewer) can view the message, but only an
Administrator can update the version. An Administrator can choose to get reminded later or dismiss the message. For more
information about updating the OpenManage Enterprise version, see Check and update the version of the OpenManage
Enterprise and the available plugins on page 144.
For all the job-based actions by OpenManage Enterprise, when a job is created or started to run, the lower-right corner displays
an appropriate message. Details about the job can be viewed on the Job Details page. See View the jobs list on page 101.
