Functional areas of management console
The Edge Device Manager console is organised into the following functional areas:
1 The Dashboard page provides information about each functional area of the system.
2 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, and so on.
3 The Devices page enables you to view and manage devices, device types, and device-specic congurations.
4 The Apps & Data page provides management of device applications, operating system images, policies, certicate les, logos, and
wallpaper images.
5 The Rules page enables you to add, edit, and enable or disable rules such as auto grouping and alert notications.
6 The Jobs page enables you to create jobs for tasks such as reboot, WOL, and application or image policy that is deployed on registered
devices.
7 The Events page enables you to view and audit system events and alerts.
8 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 Edge Device Manager. Users are given permissions to perform operations based on the roles
assigned to them.
9 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.
Conguring and managing Edge Gateway 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, for example
marketing, sales, and engineering, or based on the location hierarchy, for example, country, state, and city.
NOTE
: System administrators can add rules to create groups. They can also assign devices to an existing group depending on the
device attributes such as subnet, time zone, and location.
You can also congure the following:
• Settings or policies that apply to all devices in the tenant account which are set at the Default Policy group. These settings and policies
are the global set of parameters that all groups and subgroups inherit from.
• Settings or parameters that are congured at lower-level groups take precedence over the settings that were congured at the parent
or higher-level groups.
• Parameters that are specic to a particular device which can be congured from the Device Details page. These parameters, like
lower-level groups, take precedence over the settings congured in the higher-level groups.
