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 lter 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 lter status
To view the Device Details page of a particular device, click the device entry that is listed on the page. All the conguration 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 conguration parameter that is specic to the device. Parameters that are congured in this section override any
parameters that were congured at the groups and/or at the global level.
