Configuration - Centralized Management of Device Settings in the IGEL UMS Web App

In the Configuration area of the IGEL Universal Management Suite (UMS) Web App, you can create and manage configuration objects, such as profiles and files, to support the centralized management of device settings.

For more information on profiles, see Profiles in the IGEL UMS.

For more information on files, see Files - Registering Files on the IGEL UMS Server and Transferring Them to Devices.

Menu path: UMS Web App > Configuration

Structuring Configuration Objects

1

Configuration Objects Directory Tree

You can structure your configuration objects, by creating directory structure under Profiles, Priority Profiles and Files in the Configuration Objects tree. The structure tree shows all created directories and subdirectories. The format (x/y) specifies 1) the number of objects contained directly in the directory and 2) the total number of objects in the directory & all subdirectories of this directory.

2

Object List

When you select a directory in the tree, the object list shows all the objects contained in the directory.

3

Management Panel

The content of the panel changes based on the selected item.

When you select a directory in the tree, the panel shows directory information. You can find here the Properties of the selected directory, e.g. the Name, Directory Path.
When you select an object from the Object List, the panel shows the details of the selected object and all the functions for the management of the object. For details, see the sections Profile Management and File Management.

To use priority profiles, they have to be enabled under Network > Settings > UMS Features, see Network Settings in the IGEL UMS Web App. Once enabled, you can create priority profiles in the same way as the standard profiles, see How to Create and Assign Profiles in the IGEL UMS Web App.

Structuring Actions

You have the following options to structure your objects:

→ To create a directory, click .

→ To rename a directory, click .

→ To delete a directory, click . Currently, only empty directories can be deleted.

→ To expand/minimize the list of subdirectories of a directory, click the arrow icon next to the directory name, or double click the directory element.

→ To move a configuration object to another directory, select the object and move it per drag & drop to the desired directory.

→ To refresh the Configuration Objects tree, click .

→ To move a directory to another directory, select the directory and move it per drag & drop to the desired directory or use [Ctrl + X], [Ctrl + V].

You can only move file directories within Files and profile directories within Profiles.

It is currently not possible to copy objects in the UMS Web App. For profiles, you can use the export and import profile function, instead. See Exporting and Importing Profiles in the IGEL UMS Web App.

Object List Actions

You can use the following actions on the listed objects:

Use the free text filter to filter for objects that contain the text in their name
Sort profiles by Name and Version
Sort files by Name and Size
Collapse and expand the object details
Use the paging for the navigation in the object list
Set the number of objects to be displayed on one page
