Devices Area

This table displays a list of the devices included in the operation, and a status and message pertaining to each individual device. You can select a device and click View to open an additional Properties window specifically for that device. This area is only displayed when the Properties window is launched from the Active Status Summary View.

Use the table options and tools to find, filter, sort, print, and export information in a table and customize table settings. You can access the Table Tools through a right-mouse click on a column heading or anywhere in the table body, or by clicking the Table Tools  button in the upper left corner of the table (if you have the row count column displayed). For more information, see the Table Tools Help topic.

  • -- the operation failed for this device.
  • -- for a successful configuration save operation, the alert signifies that there is a difference between this saved configuration file and the previous file saved for this device.

Message
Messages regarding the outcome of the operation for that particular device.
View Button
Select a device and click View to open a secondary Properties window that displays general information for a particular device.
