Filtering​

The information displayed on the screen can be customized by adding or removing information columns using the Column chooser and saving the filters used for future queries in the user profile.

Header Filtering Options​

At the top of the screen, tools and icons for each attribute are concentrated, allowing you to filter the list based on the following criteria:

  • Filtering by device technology:
    • Device type: Physical or Virtual
    • Session broker used: Citrix, RDP, or Unknown
    • Hypervisor: Hyper-V, Nutanix, vSphere, Physical, or Unknown
  • Filtering by device status:
    • The device has active notifications.
    • The device is off.
    • The device is in an unknown state for the broker.
    • The device is in an OK state.

Once a device is selected, or through multiple selection, the Operations button provides access to perform various tasks on the devices such as Power and connection actions or send Notifications to users. You can consult the details of these functionalities in the Available Actions section.

In My Filters there are also additional filtering options that allow selecting devices according to the applications installed on them.
