The Home page is made up of a left-hand, expandable navigation menu and a main area; that is, the Assets Dashboard. The dashboard is divided into the following sections.
- Assets section
- Assets by Location section
- KPI cards section
Assets
- All: List of all the assets in your system.
- New: List of the most recently discovered assets.
- Modified: List of the most recently edited or updated assets.
- Sites: List of all current sites.
By selecting the All widget, you can view the list of all the assets in your system. The New widget takes you to a list of the most recently discovered assets. The Modified widget takes you to a list of the most recently edited or updated assets. The Sites widget lists all current sites available in the Console.
Underneath these widgets are two graphs: New Assets and Modified Assets. The graphs display asset information organized by date.
Under these graphs are the By Brand and By Port graphs. The By Brand graph breaks up your assets according to brand. The By Port graph breaks up your assets based on the available ports that they're connected to. Selecting a section on either of these images takes you to the asset list filtered by the selected brand or port.
The following image shows an example of the data that you can find in the Assets section.
Assets by Location
The Assets by Location section provides the number of assets according to the available site. The location of an asset is dependent on the Site's IP ranges that you define when creating a site. For more information about creating a site, see Add a Site.
The Top Locations widget ranks each location based on its number of assets. The New Assets widget calls out any recently discovered assets by Site. The Modified Assets widget calls out recently edited or updated assets by site.
