The Device View Area
This section includes a summary of the Device View Area and includes general instructions for
managing devices in DashBoard.
Overview
The Device View Area includes Tabs of devices selected from the Basic Tree View. Devices are
added, as Tabs, to the Device View Area by double-clicking the slot number in the Basic Tree
View. Selecting a Device Tab enables you to view the information on that device. You can
organize Tabs in the Device View by dragging and dropping the Tabs.
Each Device Tab is labeled with the status indicator, the name of the openGear frame, the slot
number that the device is installed in, and the device type. Figure 4.4 provides an example.
