    Devices table

    Displays a list of all devices that have been connected to your Liquit Workspace. Currently, to register a device, it needs to have an Agent running on it.

    You can assign packages and deployments to defined devices, and also view users who currently logged in on a device.

    Table toolbar

    To view the details or edit a device, double-click its entry or select the device and click on the edit1x Edit button from the table toolbar.

    From the table toolbar you can also access the Remote control, Wake and create personalized views of the list, all of which are described in the following sections.

    Remote control

    For information on how to configure and use the Remote control functionality, read Set up and use remote control.

    Wake

    If the server is in the cloud, the Wake button does not function. If the server is in the same LAN as devices, the Wake button is able to wake computers that are shutdown or in sleep mode (WoL).

    Views

    Views can be accessed by clicking on the views.png Views button in the devices table toolbar.
    The default view contains all your devices in alphabetic ascending order, and only a few columns: Name, Agent version, Platform and Last contact.
    You can create your own personalized view of the table, by filtering the devices or adding/deleting columns and click Save as in the drop-down menu of views.png Views.

    Detailed view of a device

    See below the description of each screen in the detailed view of a device, and what actions you can perform in each of them.

    Overview screen

    The overview screen provides basic information of the device currently opened.

    MAC address - The media access control (MAC) address, assigned to each host's Network Interface Card (NIC), facilitates the identification and location of individual workstations within an Ethernet network by uniquely identifying each device. It can be helpful when troubleshooting network issues with the device.
    Last logged on - The last known user that have been logged in on the device
    Architecture - Processor architecture of the OS (x86, x64, ARM64)
    Last contact - The last time the device had contact with the Liquit Workspace Sever

    Events screen

    Displays all events that are associated with the current device.

    The Identity column represents the user that triggered the event.

    Logged on screen

    Displays a list of users and devices currently hosted or logged on.

    This feature can be helpful when providing remote support.

    Memberships screen

    Displays a list with all device collections the current device is member of.
    To add the device to a collection, simply start typing in the lookup field for the desired collection and select it from the results lists. Or select the browse button browse-icon-1x.png at the right of the lookup field to open the Device collection dialog box to view all the collections available.

    To view the details of a device collection or edit it, double-click its entry.

    Packages screen

    View a list of all packages currently assigned, assign new or remove existing ones.
    To view the details of a package or edit it, double click its entry.
    To add a package, simply start typing in the lookup field for the desired package and select it from the results lists. Or select the browse button browse-icon-1x.png at the right of the lookup field to open the Package dialog box to view all the packages available. When assigning the package, you will be prompted to choose between different stages that should be published to the user (Development, Test, Acceptance or Production).
    Note that you can override an entitlement for a package, via Context, Device collections, Groups, or user-level and the lowest stage will take priority. The lowest stage is Development and the highest stage is Production.

    Scenario:

    • User1 is directly entitled for PackageA in Production stage.
    • User1 is also part of a device collection that has PackageA assigned with Test stage.

    In this scenario, the Test stage version of the package will be deployed to the user, as it is of a lower priority.

    Tip

    To see all the entitlements for a package, go to Manage > Workspace > Packages > Entitlements

    For more information about publishing options and events, see Packages.

    Deployments screen

    To add a deployment, simply start typing in the lookup field for the desired deployment and select it from the results lists. Or select the browse button browse-icon-1x.png at the right of the lookup field to open the Deployment dialog box to view all the deployments available.
    You will be prompted to select the publishing stage.

    Tip

    A device will inherit all the deployments from all the collections to which the device belongs. The Inherited column shows if a deployment is inherited or not from a device collection.

    For more information, see Deployments.
