Device models are identified as a specific pairing of vendor and product name. The Device Model table provides general information about the types of devices connected to your computers, and allows approving or banning all instances of a device model.

Procedure

  1. On the console menu, choose Assets > Devices. The Devices page appears.
  2. If it is not already the active tab, click on the Device Catalog tab. The Device Catalog table appears on the page.

    See Device Model Details for a description of the columns that can be displayed in this table.

    The Action menu in the Device Catalog for models acts on checked table rows. It includes the following commands:

    • Globally Approve
    • Globally Ban
    • Remove Approval or Ban
    • Acknowledge

    The approval and ban commands are described in Approving and Banning Device Models. You can use the Acknowledge command to indicate that you have reviewed a particular model and perhaps taken any action you intend to take on its status. You can then sort or filter the table so that device models you haven’t yet acknowledged are more visible.
