Device Properties contain some of the same information as do the right-click Device Properties options, however, the information is displayed differently, and may include additional information. Instead of being listed in the right-click menu, the Device Properties are displayed in tabs at the lower section of the Devices View window.

Not all of the tabs are selectable at any one time .

This window can be displayed by selecting the Properties icon of the tool bar.

The first tab ( Properties) displays with History, Audit Trails , and Jobs tabs available.

Once Properties is accessed, the General tab is displayed. You can select any tab, in any order, to view information. When working with only those tabs at the Properties level (History, Audit Trails, and Jobs), the other tabs located beneath the Properties (Configuration, Operational, and so on) close.

For example, When you are viewing the History tab, the only tabs now available are Audit Trails and Jobs.
