Selecting devices in the devices table

In the devices table, you can select devices to view their information and manage these devices. When devices are selected, the details area appears in the right part of the web interface window.

To select relevant devices in the table:

• If you want to select one device, select the check box next to the device or use your mouse to select the device.
• If you want to select multiple devices, select the check boxes next to the relevant devices or select them by holding down the CTRL or SHIFT key.
• If you want to select all devices that satisfy the current filter and search settings, perform one of the following actions:
  • Select any device in the table and press the key combination CTRL+A.
  • Select the check box in the title of the left-most column of the table.

When more than one device is selected, the details area shows the quantitative distribution of the selected devices by category. If there are devices with various categories among the selected devices, you can exclude devices from one of the categories. To do so, you need to clear the check box next to the name of this category.

The title of the left-most column of the table shows the device selection check box. Depending on the number of selected devices, the check box can have one of the following states:

•  – all assets that satisfy the current filter and search settings were not selected in the table. However, one device or multiple devices may be selected in the table by using the check boxes next to the devices or by using the CTRL or SHIFT key.
•  – all assets that satisfy the current filter and search settings were selected in the table.
•  – all assets that satisfy the current filter and search settings were selected in the table, but then the check boxes for some of the assets were cleared. This state is also retained if the check boxes were cleared for all devices selected in this way (due to the fact that the number of selected devices may change).

If all devices that satisfy the filter and search settings are selected, the number of selected devices may be automatically changed. For example, the composition of devices in the table may be changed by an application user in a different connection session or when devices are automatically added. It is recommended to configure the filter and search settings in such a way that ensures that only the relevant devices end up in the selection (for example, you can filter devices by their IDs before selecting all devices).
