Viewing device information

The Device section (in the Device tab) displays detailed information about each registered device, including the status of its connection with the service. This section contains additional tabs at the bottom to allow you to view details, tasks and revision history for a device.

You can view this detailed information about each device by selecting the device’s host name, located in the Host Name column of the Device section. Each tab and section provides information specific for the device you are currently viewing, which is highlighted in the Device section.
