Viewing devices with custom views
Custom views offer you the ability to create their own views based on groups of devices they define. Like
all IMC views, custom views offer you a real time snapshot of the status of devices in the network
infrastructure through color-coded icons that match the highest severity or alarm level for devices in the
view.
Like device view and IP view, custom views enable you to grant and revoke management rights for
devices in custom views. First, you create custom views and add devices to them. Then, you grants access
to the custom groups in the individual operator accounts.
When considering how to organize devices into custom groups and subviews, consider first the rights
and privileges you want to grant to or restrict you from. Also, consider how the logical grouping of
devices can support an effect rights management policy. For more information about the relationship of
custom views and operator rights, see " Operator management: managing secure access to IMC ."
You can organize one or more views according to the IMC security needs and viewing requirements of
their organization. Custom views can be organized by geography, or location, buildings, organizational
groupings, just to name a few. Devices can belong to more than one custom view.
As all IMC views do, custom views offer drilldown to the device details for an individual device. From the
Device Details page, you can access management features that offer you quick and easy access to
network resources as well as the ability to manage them.
Accessing custom views
To access custom views
1. Navigate to Resource > Custom View.
a. Click the Resource tab from the tabular navigation system on the top.

appears.
Device List
• Status: Contains the latest status of the device. Device icons that are gray are not managed.
• Device Label: Contains the name of a device in the view. The contents of this field serve as an active
link for drilling down into the Device Details page, which offers you convenient access to device
management features.
• Subview: Displays the subview to which the device belongs in the custom topology. If the device
does not belong to any subview, this field displays a hyphen (-). For more information about
subviews, see " Device management through the right mouse click ."
• Device Category: Contains the IMC device category for the associated device.
• Model: Contains device model information. If the device is managed for reachability using ICMP
only no device model information is available and the field contains "ICMP."
• IP Address: Contains the IP address of the device.
