Most pages support right-click.

The Navigation Menu

This menu appears on all Ivanti Endpoint Security pages. Use this menu to navigate through the console.

This menu organizes product features based on functionality. When you select a menu item, a new page, dialog, wizard, or window opens. You can access all system features from this menu (that your access rights authorize).

The menu items available change based on modules you install.

The Home menu takes you to The Home Page. It contains no menu items.

Mobile Device Management adds new Navigation Menu items.

Any unavailable or absent menus, menu items, or sub-menu items are due to restricted access rights or unavailable modules. Contact your network administrator if you require access to unavailable features.

The Page Banner


A page banner displays when the page is added for a new module. Use this banner to identify the module that the page belongs to.

For example, pages for Ivanti Patch and Remediation display a Patch and Remediation page banner. Page banners are color-coded by module.

List Pages


Most pages feature lists of selectable items. These items represent different product features that can be edited using menus and buttons.

To select a single list item:

  • Select a check box.
  • Click a list row.

To select multiple list items:

  • Select the Select All check box.
  • Select multiple, concurrent items by using SHIFT+Click and mousing over list rows.

Toolbars

Example of a toolbar: Manage Agents
Toolbars appear on most Web console pages. They contain menus and buttons you can use to initiate page features.

  • The menus and buttons displayed vary according to page.
  • Click the available menus and buttons to use them.
  • User roles determine which buttons are available.

The Options Menu

Toolbars feature an Options menu. You can use these options to change how the page displays information.

Depending on which page you are viewing, you can filter pages using one of the following features. Only one feature appears per page.

Group By

The Group By row lets you sort list items into groups based on column headers. Use this feature to see which list items share similarities.

To use the Group By row, ensure Options > Show Group By Row is selected from the toolbar, and then drag a column header into the row. You may drag multiple columns to the row, but you may only drag one column into the row at a time.

To ungroup the list, right-click on the row and select Cancel All Groupings. To hide the Group By row, select Options > Hide Group By Row.

Expanding and Collapsing Structures

Certain structures in the Web console are expandable and collapsible. Expand structures to view additional information or options. Collapse them to conserve screen space.

Click available Plus icons (+), Minus icons (-), and Rotating Chevron icons (>) to expand or collapse a structure.

Advancing Through Pages

When a list page contains an overflow of items, pagination links are created to manage the overflow. Click these links to advance through list items.


The number of list items and the page you are viewing determines the number of pagination links.

Each page also features a Rows Per Page Drop-Down List. This list modifies the number of list items displayed on a single page (25, 50, 100, 200, 500).

Help

Ivanti Endpoint Security contains context-sensitive HTML help that includes feature explanations, step- by-step procedures, and reference materials.

Exporting Data

On many system pages, you can export the listed data to a comma-separated value file (.csv) available for use outside of the Web console. Use this exported data for management purposes (reporting, noting trends, and so on).

You can export data from a variety of pages.

Important: The Enhanced Security Configuration feature for Internet Explorer suppresses export functionality and must be disabled to export data successfully. Pop-up blockers in Internet Explorer or other supported browsers may also suppress export functionality and should be disabled.

  1. Open a system page or dialog that you can export information from.
  2. [Optional] Use the page filters to refine the items listed.
  3. Click Export.
    The File Download dialog opens.
  4. Use the browser controls to complete the data export.
    The data is exported. All data results export, including data on overflow pages.
