This section allows the user to change the way the devices table is managed - particularly useful for large networks.

Table Sort Order

The devices table can be sorted in any of five different ways:

• in table order (this is the order the devices are listed in the configuration);
• by device ID;
• by device Type;
• by Device Name;
• by Profile
• by Role;
• by Operating Mode;
• by Battery level;
• by Temperature;
• Last Seen.

The sort order can also be changed by clicking the corresponding column header in the table.

Node table page controls

Large node tables are split across multiple pages (maximum of 40 devices per page) so only a partial view of the node table is visible at any one time. The display box indicates which page is currently shown (Page 1 of 1 in the example on the right).

The buttons below the box enable to user to step to the next and previous pages or to jump to the first or last pages directly.

Load, Save, Apply, Discard buttons

A previously saved configuration can be loaded by pressing the "Load" button. This spawns a file picker dialogue box that allows the user to select the configuration to load.

The "Save" button is used to save the present configuration but not apply it to the network yet. It is saved using a system generated time-stamped file name based on the network name. The file is saved in: "WorkingDirectory/_config/". The save name is displayed to the user at the time of saving.

The "Apply" button saves the configuration and commits the new configuration to the system configuration, and to the devices in the network.

"Discard" causes any pending changes to be undone.

The "Apply" and "Discard" buttons are only shown when uncommitted changes are pending.
