Device Actions

The Device Actions menu contains a list of actions that can be performed on the selected device.

Although many actions are common to all device types, other actions are specific to a particular device type. For example, the Set Brightness action would appear on the menu only if the device is a light.

The following table lists the device actions that are common to all device types.

Check In Synchronizes the running state of the device with its physical state.

For a description of the difference between a device's running state in SOTI Connect and its physical state, see the glossary entry for running state.

Create SOTI Assist Ticket Opens the Create SOTI Assist Ticket dialog box in which you can create a SOTI Assist incident for the device.
Note: The URL for a SOTI Assist instance must be entered under the SOTI One Configuration section of the Global Settings view.
Delete Deletes the device from SOTI Connect.

Deleted devices are moved from the Devices view to the Rejected Devices tab in the New Devices pane of the Alerts view.

Remove From Group Removes the device from its current device group.

After it has been removed from the group, the device can still be found by selecting View All Devices.

Rename Opens the Update Name dialog box in which you can enter a new name for the device.
Set Device Model Opens the Set Device Model dialog box in which you can enter new model information for the device.
Set Flag Enables you to set a flag that indicates the status of the device.
