Managing devices
This section describes how to perform a routine device management task by using the management console. To locate the inventory of
the devices, click the Devices tab. You can view a subset of the devices by using various filter criteria, such as groups or subgroups,
device type, operating system type, status, subnet, platform, or time zone.
You can sort the device list based on the following:
• Type
• Platform
• Operating system version
• Serial number
• IP address
• Last user details
• Group details
• Last check-in time
• Registration status
• Write filter status
To view the Device Details page of a particular device, click the device entry that is listed on the page. All the configuration parameters of
the device and the group level at which each parameter is applied are displayed on the Device Details page.
You can set the configuration parameter that is specific to the device. Parameters that are configured in this section override any
parameters that were configured at the groups and/or at the global level.
