Customizing Views and Filters

The Directory allows you to manage the nested architecture and oversee your fleet status using a variety of views. You can freely move between views by selecting it from the top right side of their screen.

Each view provides different benefits depending on your use case. 

• The grid views offer a compact, high-level view of your entire fleet, broken down by Parent-level Groups. 
• The List views provide a more detailed view of your Parent Groups and nested Subgroups.
  • List views also allow you to fire commands to Groups or individual devices without having to separately navigate to each device.

Directory-level:

The top section for all the views at the Directory-level displays a summary of the entire fleet. The ‘Show More’ link will display the most recent devices in each category.

Views available at the Directory level:

• List: This is the default view. It shows your devices, starting with their Esper IDs. You can customize the columns by clicking on Views > Customize List View. 
• Grid: This view is useful for working with groups. It provides an overview of the groups, their devices, and subgroups. You will see the parent groups as tiles.

Each Parent Group tile provides an overview of the devices and subgroups within it, and provides quick shortcuts to onboard new devices, add, view, or edit the group’s Blueprint.

• List for Groups: This view displays a list of all the groups, including nested subgroups. It gives you specific details about the devices and allows more actions to be performed.
• List for Devices: This detailed view lists devices individually, highlighting their onboarding and online status, as well as organizational information, like group names and tags. Click the device ID to go to the Device details section.

Parent Group and Sub-groups:

Each view at the Parent-level and the sub-group level displays the summary of the number of devices and the subgroups. It also displays the description if added while creating the group. You can scan the QR code to onboard a device to this Parent Group. You can also add, edit, and view a Blueprint.

Parent-level and sub-groups have the same view as the Directory level with one addition: Customize List View.

Customize List View

This view allows you to choose your custom display for listing the devices. You can choose different columns to display here based on your use case.

You can add the following columns to the Devices & Groups directory. Some data will be updated when the device checks in. Other data won't change or will only change because of console actions.

In the Devices & Groups section, we provide three different views. You can switch between these views by clicking the three lines in the device pane of the Device & Groups screen.

You can view the devices in the following views:

• Grid view: This view allows you to see the devices as icons.

• Maps view: This view allows you to see the location of the device on the map.

• List view: This is the default view. The devices are displayed as rows in this view.
