Read the console overview — tiles, needs attention, cards

What it is for

After signing in, the console shows the Overview: tiles with numbers at the top, below them Needs attention — what is waiting for you — and four cards with the latest devices, sessions and runs. Every number and every row takes you to the matching list with one click.

What you need

• A console account. Every account only sees the accesses it is enabled for; the console calls the access "tenant".

How to do it

1. In the console: Start › Overview (this is also the start page after signing in).
2. Tiles at the top — one click opens the matching view:

| Tile | What it counts | |---|---| | Tenants | accesses you can see | | Devices in total | all devices in these accesses | | Online | devices connected right now | | Active sessions | sessions still running | | Open alerts | alerts not yet dealt with — red as soon as one is open (G12) | | Licence | used and allowed devices of the relay's licence and its kind: "licensed", "trial" (yellow), "grace", "expired" or "free tier" (red) |

1. Needs attention — only rows with a number above zero appear: - Devices rejected at registration (24 h) — expands the list with reason and next step (G20). - Devices refused by the licence (24 h) — the relay's licence is not enough. - Four-eyes approvals — access to critical devices is waiting for your approval. - Device approvals (certificate) — devices without a certificate are waiting for approval (own relay). - Approve ad bookings and Orders — only for the operator of a relay.

If it says Nothing open — all done., there is nothing to do.

1. Cards at the bottom — up to 20 rows each; one click opens the entry: - Last seen — devices by their latest report, button Devices to the full list. - Latest sessions — button Sessions. - Latest runs — script runs, button Runs. - Upcoming runs — scheduled workflows in the next 7 days, button Workflow runs.

How you know it worked

• The tiles show numbers, the cards show rows with "… min ago" instead of clock times.
• Clicking a tile opens the matching list; clicking a row opens the device or entry.

Good to know

• Needs attention by rights: a row your account may not see is silently left out. A technician therefore sees fewer rows than an administrator.
• Online is not Devices in total: a device that is asleep or being rejected only counts under devices. Rejected devices are listed under Needs attention (G20).
• Empty console: if there is no device yet, it says Welcome to BrowserDesk with the steps Create tenant and Connect device. As administrator of an access you may not create an access — yours already exists. Add a device instead (C2).
• More about the console layout and searching with Ctrl+K: B1, G1.
