The Classified Devices page, Generic Devices page, and User Classified Devices page display information on two separate pages. The Dashboard is the default for each page and displays the device information summarized in multiple cards. The List view displays in a grid the specific devices that support the information in the Dashboard. You can go between the Dashboard and List view by selecting the Devices tab and Dashboard tab in the upper right hand corner of the different pages.

The Dashboards also contain a Show Devices action button which also opens the List view. This is another way to navigate to the List view besides selecting the Devices tab.

Click the Filters icon in the upper left corner of the Classified Devices page (Dashboard and List view) to open the Filters dialog. Use the Filters dialog to add filters to refine the information that displays in the Dashboard and List view.

Click the Ellipsis button on the Filters dialog to perform actions relevant to filters. For example, clear filters.

If you hover over a column heading in the List view grid of the Classified Devices page, Generic Devices page or the User Classified Devices page, this Filter icon appears next to the heading of each column. Click the Filter icon and enter the value in which you wish to filter the column. The device information in the grid is filtered by the value that you entered.

Click the Actions button in the upper right hand corner above the grid in the following grids to perform actions relevant to filters:

  • List view grid of the Classified Devices page, Generic Devices page or the User Classified Devices page.
  • NADs grid of the All NADs page.

Within the web UI there are several places where information is presented in grids. Hover over the grid heading and the filter and sort icons become available. Click the Filters icon next to a column heading in a grid to filter the information in the grid column.

Click the Sort Ascending icon or Sort Descending icon to sort the information in the grid column in ascending order or descending order.

The Sort Ascending/Sort Descending icon is a toggle icon. The icon format changes when you click it.

Dashboard Navigation

The Classified Devices page, Generic Devices page, and User Classified Devices page display information on two separate tabs. These two tabs are a Dashboard and List view. The Dashboards all contain multiple cards. Several of the cards contain bar charts by default. When you click the View All action button the bar charts are replaced with treemaps. If a card contains a bar chart or a treemap you can perform the following actions in the bar chart or treemap:

  • Click an individual bar in the bar chart or a tree cell in the treemap to filter the information in the lower supporting cards to support that selection. The bar or tree cell color changes to the color orange.
  • Click the Others titled bar in the bar chart to display additional bars in the bar chart. The number in parentheses next to "Others" is how many more bars are available to display. This option is not available in the treemap view because all of the device information is already displayed in the card.
  • Hover over a bar in a bar chart, bar title in a bar chart, tree cell in a treemap, or a number in an overview card and a tool tip appears displaying the complete information for the entity you are hovering over. These tool tips provide you with information that is not completely visible on the Dashboards.
