Find a device quickly: device list, filters, "Find anything"

What it is for

The console quickly fills with hundreds of devices. So that you do not have to scroll, there are three ways: the "Find anything" search (Ctrl+K), the search and filters of the Devices view, and the tree on the left with your accesses and tags. A click on the device you found opens its details.

What you need

• A sign-in to the console (B1). Every role may search.
• You only see devices of the accesses your account is enabled for. In the console an access is called tenant.

How to do it

Way 1: "Find anything" with Ctrl+K

1. Press Ctrl+K (Mac: ⌘+K), outside an input field also / — or click into the field Find anything … at the top.
2. Type two or more characters: device name, computer name, signed-in user, domain, operating system or an IP address.
3. Click a device in the devices group or open it with Enter — it opens with its details.
4. If more devices match, the entry "Show all devices matching “…”" shows the whole result in the device list.

The results also contain actions if your role allows them — for example "Connect to “…”" or "Run script on “…” …" (technician role and up). With an empty input the search shows what you Recently opened.

Way 2: The device list

1. Open Devices in the sidebar. At the top it says All devices with the number.
2. Type into Search… at the top right. The list only shows matching devices.
3. Narrow it down with the buttons All, Online, Offline and Blocked.
4. For exact filters per column switch on the funnel icon (Toggle column filters). With Choose columns you show or hide columns, for example the column Licence.
5. Via More the list can be grouped by Tenant, Platform, Version or Status (Group by). A setup you need more often is kept with Save current view and brought back later under Saved view.

Way 3: The tree on the left

• On the left you see Tenants & tags. A click on an access shows only its devices, a click on a tag only the devices with that tag. All devices clears the selection.
• With many accesses the field Filter tree… helps.

What you can do with the device you found

A right click on a row opens the device's menu:

If you tick several devices with the boxes on the left, the entries apply to all ticked devices. The ⋮ icon at the top right (Select devices first, then batch actions) offers the same batch actions.

How you know it worked

• The device is in the list, or its details are open (name at the top, on the left Overview, Settings, Inventory and further tabs).
• The number above the list shows how many devices match the search.

Good to know

• IP addresses: The search finds the addresses the device reported for its network adapters and its public address. The address of the current connection is in the details under Overview.
• The search ignores upper and lower case and umlaut differences. Common words count as the same, for example "customer", "access" and "tenant" or "computer" and "device".
• The results only show what your role may see. Only the relay's system administrator finds console accounts.
• Download the entire filtered result set as CSV (download icon) saves the filtered list as a table, Print (preview) prints it.
• Only your browser remembers what you searched for last.
