Functional areas of management console

The Wyse Management Suite console is organized into the following functional areas:

• The Dashboard page provides information about each functional area of the system.

• The Groups & Congs page employs a hierarchical group policy management for device conguration. Optionally, subgroups of the

global group policy can be created to categorize devices according to corporate standards. For example, devices may be grouped based

on job functions, device type, bring-your-own-device, and so on.

• The Devices page enables you to view and manage devices, device types, and device-specic congurations.

• The Apps & Data page provides management of device applications, operating system images, policies, certicate les, logos, and

wallpaper images.

• The Rules page enables you to add, edit, and enable or disable rules such as auto grouping and alert notications.

• The Jobs page enables you to create jobs for tasks such as reboot, WOL, and application or image policy that need to be deployed on

registered devices.

• The Events page enables you to view and audit system events and alerts.

• The Users page enables local users, and users imported from the Active Directory to be assigned global administrator, group

administrator, and viewer roles to log in to Wyse Management Suite. Users are given permissions to perform operations based on the

roles assigned to them.

• The Portal Administration page enables administrators to congure various system settings such as local repository conguration,

license subscription, Active Directory conguration, and two-factor authentication. For more information, see Dell Edge Device

Manager R17 Administrator’s Guide at support.dell.com.

Congure and manage edge devices

Conguration management—Edge Device Manager supports a hierarchy of groups and subgroups. Groups can be created manually or

automatically based on the rules dened by the system administrator. You can organize based on the functional groups such as marketing,

sales, and engineering, or based on the location hierarchy such as country, state, and city.
