Functional areas of the management console
The EDM management console is organized into the following functional areas:
1 Dashboard: This allows you to quickly view important summary of information for each functional area of the system.
2 Groups: This allows the exibility to employ hierarchical Group Policy management for device conguration. Optionally, sub-groups 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.
3 Users: Local users and users imported from Active Directory can be assigned global administrator, group administrator, and viewer
roles to login to EDM. Users are given permissions to perform operations based on roles assigned to them.
4 Devices: This allows you to view and manage Devices, Device Types, and device-specic Conguration.
5 Apps & Data: This allows you to manage device Application inventory and policies.
6 Rules: This allows you to add, edit, and enable or disable rules such as auto grouping and alert notications.
7 Jobs: Creates job for any task such as reboot, WOL, and application/image policy that needs to be pushed to registered devices.
Administrator can track status of jobs by navigating to this tab.
8 Events: This allows you to view and audit system events and alerts.
9 Portal Admin: This allows administrators to perform system administration tasks such as local repositories, Active Directory Connector
operations, Subscriptions, and other Self-Service settings/agreements out of the system. You can congure on-premises services and
enable two-factor authentication here. For more information, see Managing Administrators and Viewers of the Management Console
