In the Devices area of the IGEL Universal Management Suite (UMS) Web App, you can manage devices registered on the UMS Server. All devices registered on the UMS Server are shown.

Device changes made in the UMS Console are immediately available in the UMS Web App, and vice versa.

You can structure the Devices area by creating directories and subdirectories. When doing so, you should bear in mind that each device can only be stored in a single directory. 

Avoid placing too many devices in one folder. If you experience some kind of lagginess, refer to the tips regarding the folder structure under Performance Optimizations.
