9. Searching For a Device By Name or IP Address

The first and most prominent way to search for a device is to type in the name or IP of the device in the “Device/IP Search” field at the top of the application. However this is not very useful if you cannot remember the name of the device or are not looking for a specific device. In this case you can use the “Browse by” section of the left navigation menu. Browse by allows you to browse by Systems, Groups, Locations and Reports. Browsing by Systems allows you to browse by some common types of Devices such as File Servers, Printers and Infrastructure and are arranged hierarchically. Browsing by Groups allows you to browse by groups that you can set up to organize your devices. These groups can be named whatever you like and are arranged hierarchically. Browsing by Locations is basically the same as the others, is just allows you to arrange your devices into groups based on location and are arranged hierarchically as well.
