Device status
This window provides an overview of the status of the declared devices and can be used to monitor the progress of the triggered updates. The overview shows each device from each group. It also shows briefly which users and Netshare folders are allocated to the individual devices and the current device status.
The displayed values may differ from the actual values. In this case simply use the “Refresh” function in the context menu to update the values.
