Scope Selector

The Scope Selector shows the hierarchy of your organization in terms of the MSPs managed by you (in case you are a Master MSP) and the Tenants under each individual MSP. The main purpose of the Scope Selector is to control the data populated on the Dashboard and Inventory page. The Inventory page shows the available features for the selected scope only.

Dashboard

The Dashboard is the default page of the Unified Management when you log in.

The Dashboard summarizes all your registered products and alerts associated with the products according to the Scope Selector.

From the Dashboard, you can:

  • Create a new Tenant
  • Manage alerts
  • Navigate to Alert List view from the product tiles to view product-specific alerts generated.

If you do not have a registered product, you can learn more about the product offerings and activate a trial. For more information, refer to Dashboard.

Map View

By the default, the Dashboard page shows the alerts in the Map View, but you can switch between Map View and List View.

On the Map View, the dot signifies tenants based on their marker locations and color of the dot signifies the highest priority of alert generated on the products under those Tenants.

Applying the combination of filter attributes can narrow down the results for a specific requirement. You can save these combinations of attributes to apply filters for future use. For more information, refer to Viewing and Managing Alerts.

List View

The List View gives the complete list of product-wise alerts with separate tabs.

Applying the combination of filter attributes can narrow down the results for a specific requirement. You can save these combinations of attributes to apply filters for future use. For more information, refer to Viewing and Managing Alerts. You can also export the alerts into CSV format.
