Devices / OU structure

The OU structure is organized hierarchically and may reflect the structure of your organization. OUs can contain devices at each level, but also other OUs. An OU can represent a site with its devices or group devices with the same details.

The advantage of having a hierarchical structure is that properties such as the device configuration and applications can be inherited from top to bottom.Actions can be applied to all devices in an OU, optionally including all devices in subordinate OUs, in one step. This applies, for example, to a command like Restart.

OU structure view

1 Click to expand an OU An expanded OU ist indicated by 2 For each OU, the number of included devices, defined applications and schedules are displayed. 3 For a selected OU, the devices contained are displayed on the right in the device list.

The device list on the right shows the devices located in the OU selected on the left. Devices located in subordinate OUs are not displayed.

The device list can be edited, sorted and filtered in the same way as in the All devices view, see Display of devices. The Actions context-menu for the devices is also available, for example to issue commands or mirror a device.
