Overview

 

It is possible to edit some of the device's details, namely the "Properties" tab of the "Device Details" page. The remaining tabs are NOT editable. The information displayed in these tabs comes from the recurring communication between device and account.

 

Step-by-step

 

1. Click Devices Button, in the "Control Panel" and, in the resulting row below, click Devices Sub Module Button.

This opens a "Devices" page.

TIP

Make sure you have the correct "device group" filter (click No Filter Button ,located below the device icon, and select the appropriate option from the drop-down list).

If you select "All Groups", it will only display the device groups you create. To view the "Unassigned Devices", select that specific option.

 

2. Select the device you want to view by clicking its name (displayed in light blue). This opens the corresponding "Device Details" page.
