Displaying Information: Display screens show results from a data collection operation such as performance or device test. They also can simply display configuration information such the Identity screen. These screens cannot be edited. Data or status continues to be collected while the screen is displayed. Status and performance polling occurs at regular intervals. Selecting Refresh updates the screen display with the most current information. Typically, display screens are filtered to show only the information or data collected for the active configuration.
