The Devices widget in the Dashboard section displays information about devices that are included in the list of known devices.

The widget provides the following information:

• Data on the number of devices known to the application in each category. This data is displayed as category icons in the upper part of the widget. The number of devices of the specific category is indicated under the icon of each category. If the list of devices contains devices with issues, the warning icon is displayed on the category icons of these devices.
• List of categories with devices with issues. This data is displayed in the middle part of the widget if such devices are present. The space used for displaying graphical elements is limited by the size of the widget.

Devices with issues

The application determines that a device requires attention in any of the following cases:

• The device has the Authorized status and a security state other than OK.
• The device has the Unauthorized status.

If there are devices with issues, the following information is displayed for each category in the list:

• Line containing the category icon, text comment, and link containing the number of devices with issues.
• Line containing the graphical elements representing the devices. This line is displayed if there is sufficient free space in the widget. The number of graphical elements in the line depends on the current size of the browser window. If there are more devices with issues than the number of graphical elements displayed in the line, the number of hidden devices is displayed on the right in the format +<number of devices>.

Graphical elements of devices

Graphical elements representing devices contain the following information:

• Device name.
• Device status. This is displayed as an icon if the device has the Unauthorized status.
• Device security state. This is displayed as a colored line on the left border of the graphical element. The color of the line corresponds to the OK, Warning or Critical states.

The graphical elements are displayed in the following order:

1. Devices assigned the Unauthorized status.
2. Devices with the Critical security state.
3. Devices with the Warning security state.

Navigating to other sections from the Devices widget

You can use elements of the Devices widget interface to navigate to the devices table and display detailed information about devices. To do so, you can utilize the following options:

• Go to the devices table and filter the table

  To go to the devices table and view information about all devices in the selected category:

  In the upper part of the Devices widget, click the icon of the relevant category.

  To proceed to the devices table and view information about devices that require attention and belong to a specific category:

  This opens the Devices section containing the devices table. The table will be filtered based on the IDs of devices that require attention and belong to the specific category.

  The devices table is filtered based on the IDs of those devices that were displayed in the Devices widget when you proceeded to the devices table. After you switch to the devices table, the filter settings are not updated. If you want to view the current number of devices with issues, you can go to the Dashboard section again.
