    • Workspace Navigation and Filtering: Access the MID Server Workspace via the application list or dashboard cards. Users can customize table filters, save filter sets, and group or sort servers to focus on relevant MID Server data.
    • Recent MID Server Monitoring: A dedicated filter highlights MID Servers created within the past week, helping teams monitor new deployments and quickly diagnose potential problems.
    • Bulk Server Actions: Select multiple MID Servers and apply bulk operations such as Validate or Rekey via the Server Actions menu, streamlining maintenance tasks across many servers simultaneously.
    • Detailed MID Server Views: Clicking a MID Server name opens detailed status cards showing current validations, unresolved issues, and available corrective actions like upgrades or validations. Alerts appear prominently in banners.
    • Role-Based Access: Users with the SOAP ECC queue role gain access to the ECC Queue table directly from the detailed view for advanced troubleshooting.
    • Purpose Field for Notes: Administrators can add textual notes about the MID Server’s purpose, which are visible in dashboard tables when personalized fields are configured. This helps document server roles without affecting configurations.

    MID Servers tables

    Navigate to the MID Servers workspace either by selecting its icon from the application list or by selecting a card from the dashboard. Each of the cards on the dashboard corresponds to the cards in this workspace view.

    Selecting a card shows a table of MID Servers filtered by category. You can customize the filter by selecting the filter icon, and save the filters with the Saved filters drop-down menu. Group and sort the results by selecting the Show column filter row icon in the category row.

    On the Total MID Servers table, a banner enables you to quickly filter for MID Servers that have been created in the past week. Use this filter to monitor new MID Servers and diagnose any issues from their deployment.

    Server Actions

    MID Servers can be selected by the check box on the table, then the Server Actions drop-down menu enables you to perform any available action. These actions include Validating or Rekeying the MID Servers. This Server Actions menu enables you to perform corrective actions to multiple MID Servers at once from the overview.

    Detailed view

    Selecting a MID Server's name navigates to a detailed view of that MID Server. On the Status, Validated, and Unresolved Issues cards, relevant correction actions are shown such as upgrading or validating the MID Server. If the MID Server has any alerts, they are shown in a banner.

    If the user has the SOAP ECC queue role, then the View ECC Queue button becomes visible, which navigates to the ECC Queue table.

    In the MID Server details view, selected from the context menu, you can edit the Purpose field to save any notes about the MID Server's purpose. This field is only a text note and does not change anything about the MID Server.

    The Purpose field can be viewed from the dashboard tables by adding it to the Personalize fields menu, accessed through the three-dot menu beside the Server Actions menu.

    The MID Server configuration and Troobleshooting sections of the context menu show the records assigned to this MID Server. You can access the MID Server properties or logs. Use the Create button to create new records, or the Manage button to manage existing ones. You can filter the list of records by selecting the filter icon.
