Devices
What are devices?
Section titled “What are devices?”Devices are catalog entries for machines or systems in your organization. They can be used to document infrastructure, represent runtime hosts, or keep track of important assets in the admin area.
Devices can exist independently of an Edge Connector. A connector may later be associated with a device, but the catalog itself is broader than live connector management.
Device catalog management
Section titled “Device catalog management”Creating a device entry
Section titled “Creating a device entry”You can create device entries manually:
-
Navigate to Devices in the admin panel.
-
Click Add Device.
-
Enter a name for the device (e.g., “Office Server 01”, “Lab Workstation”).
-
Fill in any additional descriptive fields that help your team identify the device.
-
Click Save.
Updating a device
Section titled “Updating a device”Open any device from the catalog to update its properties:
- Name — change the display name to keep the catalog organized.
- Brand, type, and model — keep device metadata consistent.
- Description and notes — store operational context for your team.
Deleting a device
Section titled “Deleting a device”To delete a device, open its detail page and click Delete. Confirm the deletion when prompted.
Listing devices
Section titled “Listing devices”The Devices page displays all registered devices in your organization:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | The device’s display name |
| Brand | Optional vendor or manufacturer info |
| Type | Device classification |
| Created | When the catalog entry was created |
| Updated | When the catalog entry was last edited |
Use the search field to find devices by name.
Device details
Section titled “Device details”Click on any device to view and edit its details:
- Identity fields such as name, brand, type, and model
- Description and notes for operational context
- Audit metadata such as creation and update timestamps
Devices and edge runtimes
Section titled “Devices and edge runtimes”Some devices may also be relevant for edge runtime operations, but the catalog does not require an active Edge Connector to exist. Treat the device record as the stable inventory entry and runtime status as a separate operational concern.
Use device records to give your team a shared reference point for hardware, workstations, or runtime hosts, even when there is no active connector session.
