How to Switch Views

- Select My Profile.
- Under Devices & Groups View, select Advanced View.
- Your preference is saved automatically.
To switch back, return to the same section and select Basic View.
What's Different in Advanced View
Advanced View includes everything in Basic View, plus additional capabilities for managing larger fleets.
| Feature | Basic View | Unified View |
|---|---|---|
| Devices and groups | Separate tabs | Single unified interface |
| Group navigation | Toggle between tabs | Persistent left panel |
| Device table | Visible only in Devices tab | Always visible alongside group context |
| Inventory scopes | Not available | Full Tenant Inventory, Devices without Groups, All Devices |
Inventory scopes are a new concept in Unified View:
- Full Tenant Inventory: All devices and registrations in your tenant, excluding removed devices
- Devices without Groups: Devices that aren't assigned to any group
- All Devices: The default group that devices are assigned to during provisioning
Unified Devices & Groups views
See groups, their devices, and applicable filters at one glance when you navigate to the Devices and Groups screen. Target a single device, multiple, or the entire fleet with a few button clicks.
Column customization
In Basic View, you can add columns via Views > Customize List View. Advanced View expands on this with Actions > Customize List, which adds the ability to drag and drop columns to reorder them, freeze up to three columns so they stay visible when scrolling horizontally, and resize column widths by dragging the column edge in the header row.
Selecting devices across pages
In Basic View, selections reset when you navigate between pages. In Advanced View, selections persist across pages, making it easier to act on devices spread across a large list. You can also select all devices across the entire directory — not just the current page — and perform bulk actions on them. Note that for lists of 999 or more devices, only the Converge action is currently supported.
Switch to Advanced View and get the most out of your fleet.
