Management Tabs

The management tabs provide the user with available information relating to his home location. For example, if the user’s home location is Chicago, these tabs will display information for Chicago. If the user’s home location is Region Two, the tabs will display information specific to Region Two.

Note: If you want additional filtering by location, navigate to the location and then use the context links under the location name to navigate.

There are five management tabs and the Tools menu:

Maps Tab

The Maps tab provides a map displaying your locations. You can also view the location of alerts and device GPS position or history. From the Web Console map, you can view your locations, the highest alert level associated with each, and the GPS position and history of your mobile devices. Or, to filter the information displayed by location, navigate to the desired location and click the Maps context link.

The following options are available for configuring the map display:

The map navigation buttons allow you to zoom in and out and move the map view north, east, south and west. You can also move the map view by clicking and dragging the map.

Show Locations

Regions. Displays all regions that have defined GPS locations on the map. You can view location-specific information in a callout box when you click on a location.

Servers. Displays all server locations that have defined GPS locations on the map.

Group Locations. Displays all group locations that have defined GPS locations will be displayed on the map.

Show Device Positions

Device GPS Position. When this option is enabled, devices recently viewed will be displayed on the map at their reported location.

Device GPS History. When this option is enabled, the most recent device to have its location history plotted will have its location history displayed on the map.

GEO Fences. When this option is enabled, geofences that have been configured for all mobile device profiles applied to the context location will be displayed on the map.

Note: The Show Device Positions options will only be available when you have plotted devices that have reported GPS coordinates.

Locations Tab

The Locations tab provides a panel with a summary of the location, a panel with details about any associated sub-locations, and a panel showing users authorized to manage the location. For information on managing locations with the Web Console, see Location Management.

Inventory Tab

The Inventory tab provides panels listing mobile devices, infrastructure devices, device servers, and mobile device groups. You will only be able to see the devices, servers, and groups that are associated with your home location.

Profiles Tab

The Profiles tab provides panels listing applied and available profiles for the location. Profiles are collections of configurations that can be applied to devices or servers. A profile allows you to manage configurations and settings centrally and then deploy those configurations to as many locations as necessary. The Applied Profiles panel displays the profiles that are currently applied to the selected location and the type, status, and priority of those profiles. The Available Profiles panel displays all profiles that are available to be applied to the selected location.

Note: For information on applying a profile to a location, see Applying Profiles to Locations.

Mobile Device Server and Infrastructure Server profiles are exclusive. With exclusive profiles, only the highest priority profile of that type will be applied at any given location. It is possible with inherited profiles that there may be two profiles with the same priority number applied at a location; in this situation, the profile that is applied at (or nearest to) the selected location will take priority.

You can change the priority of applied profiles at the location where they are assigned.

To change the priority of applied profiles:

In the Applied Profiles panel, click Change Priority.

The Change Priority page appears.

Reorder the profiles by dragging and dropping.

When you are done assigning priority, click Save.

Alerts Tab

The Alerts tab provides a panel listing current alerts associated with your location. For information on acknowledging and clearing alerts, see Acknowledging and Clearing Alerts.

Tools Menu

The Tools menu provides access to the Reports tool, user management, audit logs, scheduled tasks, system information and settings. For tasks related to the Tools menu, see Console Tools.
