All clients managed by the team in SiteKiosk Online are displayed and organized in the client list. Depending on the configured rights, not all clients may be visible to the user. Switching between tree view and client is independent of the filter.

Groups

Groups are a unique administration structure for clients. Groups can be nested within each other. Each client exists exactly once in the group hierarchy.

The New Clients and Unlicensed Clients groups can neither be renamed nor deleted. Clients are automatically added to the New Clients group when they log in for the first time. Clients are moved to the Unlicensed Clients group when they are deleted. Only deletion from this group is permanent. This group is functionally similar to the recycle bin of many operating systems.

Tags

Tags are an additional option for managing clients. Tags do not have a hierarchy, but all clients of a tag can be selected together and added to another tag. A client can be assigned to any number of tags.

Pictograms of the clients

Error-free, the client runs without errors

Warning, the client is running without an assigned project, the project is not up to date or the client is in maintenance mode

Alarm, the client has one or more errors, the connection is interrupted or the emergency display is visible

Logged out, the client was switched off regularly

Out of service, the client has not connected to the server for 30 days or is in the Unlicensed Clients folder

Filter

The displayed client list can be restricted using the filter function. A filter consists of three components: the variable, the comparison operator and the comparison value. The variable is selected from the first drop-down menu and includes various client parameters. The comparison operator is either contains (=) or does not contain (≠). The comparison value is a free text or a drop-down menu with preselected values for variables that only allow a limited selection.

Filter criteria can be permanently saved as filters and then quickly changed using the Load filter function.

The Reset search button resets all search criteria and displays all clients of a team again.

View: Tree view

In the tree view, the clients are displayed in their groups like folders in a directory tree. A group with the team name serves as the parent group for all groups and clients.

The number of clients in the group and all subgroups is displayed in brackets after the names of the groups.

The tags are grouped alphabetically under Tags.
