Devices list

The devices list displays 10 devices per page by default, but you can increase this number by clicking on the Rows per page drop-down. This setting is saved for each list (Devices, Fleets, etc.) and reused at next visit.

If your organization or the results of your filter contain more items than the number of displayed rows per page, click on the arrows to move between pages (first page, previous page, next page, last page).

By default, the following headers are displayed in the list:

  • Famoco ID
  • Fleet
  • Profile
  • Sync status
  • Last sync date

You can add more headers in the device list:

  • Click on settings
  • Select the header fields you want to display on the device list.
    Available additional headers are:
    • IMEI;
    • Custom Identification;
    • Maintenance Status;
    • Heartbeat;
    • Model;
    • OS Version;
    • Famoco Layer Version;
    • Wi-Fi MAC Address;
    • Android Hardware Serial Number.
    • Famoco ID highlight: an optional Famoco ID Highlighter can also be switched on from this modal, when activated the Famoco ID Highlighter colors the discriminating last digits of the Famoco ID in order to help users distinguish devices easily.
  • Click on SAVE

Filters

The devices list can be filtered based on one or several filters. Multiple filters are combined with an AND logic (e.g. display only devices corresponding to both profile A selected value AND sync status B selected value).

By default, 4 filters are available on top of the list:

  • Famoco ID: search field, type in the ID
  • Fleet: searchable drop-down, search and/or select a fleet in the list
  • Profile: searchable drop-down, search and/or select a profile in the list
  • Sync status: searchable drop-down, search and/or select a status in the list

If you need more filters, click on the button Add Filter "+" icon and select the filters you want to use:

  • Custom Identification: search field, type in an Custom Identification text
  • Heartbeat: searchable drop-down, search and/or select a status in the list
  • IMEI: search field, type in the IMEI
  • Labels: searchable drop-down with checkboxes: a multiselection is possible within the single Labels filter (those selected label values are filtering with an OR logic, e.g. display only devices corresponding to labels A OR B AND profile C)
  • Maintenance status: searchable drop-down, search and/or select a status in the list
  • Model: searchable drop-down, search and/or select a model in the list

Notes:

  • The user can reset an active filter by clicking on the grey delete “×” icon.
  • In addition, users can also remove a filter by clicking the red delete “×” icon displayed while mouse hovering filters.
  • The filters are saved and stay active until the session ends: if the user adds some filters or activates filter values, then navigates to another list, those settings will be still active when the user navigates back to the initial list.

Devices selection

To select one or multiple devices, just click the corresponding row checkbox(es). Before selecting a device, the user may want to see detailed information about it. The Devices details side panel can be displayed while selecting devices, see next chapter (Devices details side panel).

It is possible to select a device range:

  • Select a first device checkbox (start of range)
  • While pressing the Shift key, select another device checkbox (end of range)

Other selection options are grouped in the header selection checkbox (one checkbox on top of other ones). It allows you to select all the current page devices (if the devices are displayed on several pages, only 10, 25, 50 or 100 are selected by clicking on this checkbox).

A click on the down arrow next to the checkbox unfolds a contextual menu with 3 options:

  • The “None” option deselects all devices
  • The “All” option selects all the devices (from all pages)
  • The “From file” option is a selection tool allowing the user to select devices from a semicolon separated CSV file containing device Famoco IDs

When the “From file” option is selected, a modal opens and the user can drag & drop a CSV file (classic upload with file selection from computer is available too). The modal displays the number of valid Famoco IDs found. The user can then click on APPLY: this action closes the modal and selects the corresponding devices. The user can then perform any bulk action on the new selection.

Device details side panel

Highlight a device row to get extended information about the device’s status, sync history and installed applications. To highlight a row, simply click on it (except on the selection box or the copy icons areas). The highlighted line is greyed and the side panel is displayed.

Devices side panel

Device panel header displays the device’s FAMOCO ID and the Custom Identification (if any) and/or the device note (if any), a “×” icon closes the panel. The "pencil icon (edit) opens the edition modal dialog. The “>” and “<” icons allow navigation to the next / previous device. When the side-panel is displayed, it is possible to navigate in the list using the keyboard: the arrows; J; and K keys display the next/previous item side-panel.

Devices details side panel indicators are arranged in 6 main sections, each indicator has a title (e.g. “Sync status”), a text status (e.g. “Synced”) and an associated icon that can slightly change to illustrate current status (e.g. sync or sync_problem).

Devices actions

Add / modify a Device Note and/or a Custom Identification

Device Note: you can add a small text note to each device. This text is not synced with the device, it is only visible from MDM users from your organization. You can transfer this text, as an option, when you move a device to another organization.

Custom Identification: this is a free text that can be used to store your own Device or User identifier. This feature was formally labeled “Owner’s Name”. It is also displayed and possibly edited from the device’s Dashboard. See the Profile option.

To add / modify a Device Note and/or a Custom Identification:

  • Select one device in the Devices list
  • Click on the edit button, a modal dialog opens
  • Add a Device Note or modify the existing one (up to 256 characters)
  • If the device’s profile Custom Identification is set to MDM Controlled, add a Custom Identification or modify the existing one (up to 64 characters)
  • Click on SAVE button

Note: after a custom identification modification (if editable), the MDM device description is immediately updated: the custom identification is set with the new value and the Sync Status is set to Not synced. The Sync Status value will later be set to Synced after a successful sync.
