About the Onboarding Dashboard

To access the Put Devices into Service page, navigate to Inventory > Device Onboarding > Onboarding Dashboard.

The Put Devices into Service page is a dashboard in Paragon Automation. It helps you to view a summary of devices that:

  • Are ready to install, which means that all pre-requisites to install the device at a site are complete.

  • Need urgent action, which means that the device has some critical issues. Immediate user intervention is needed for resolution.

    You can also view a comparison (as a number or percentage) of alerts generated in the current week against those in the past week. Hover over the widget to view the number of critical alerts generated in the current week and in the past week.

  • Need action, which means that the device has major issues. Immediate user intervention is not needed for resolution; for example, a disk in a device is not booting.

    You can also view a comparison (as a number or percentage) of major alerts generated in the current week against the alerts in the past week. Hover over the widget to view the number of major alerts generated in the current week and in the past week.

You can use the text boxes and drop-down lists below the table headers to filter devices by the respective attribute values. By default, devices not in service yet are displayed. This can be changed by using the Operational State column filter.

Some filters additionally display the device count by group. For example, you can click the Sites filter and view the number of devices present at each configured site.

Tasks You Can Perform

The tasks that you can perform on the Put Devices into Service page are:

  • Filter devices by using the table headers—Device's hostname, model number, IP address, site, status, OS version, and so on.

    Click the search icon (magnifying glass), in the text box or drop-down list under each header. Enter the search term (hostname, model number, IP address, OS version) in the text box or the search value in the drop-down list, and press Enter. You can view the search results on the same page.

    In the list of devices filtered, click the hostname link to view the device details and test results.

  • View the results of automated checks performed on the device during onboarding.

    To view the results, click the device's hostname link. The Device-Name page appears displaying the result of all the tests executed during onboarding. In addition, when the device is in production, you can continue to monitor the device from the Device-Name page. For more information, See View Results of Automated Device Tests.

  • Put the device into production; See Move a Device to Production.

  • Sort, resize, or re-arrange columns in a table (grid).

  • Show or hide columns in the table or reset page preferences, using the vertical ellipsis menu.

  • Delete a device. See Release a device.

  • Set the number of rows to be displayed in the table—Set the number of rows (15, 30, 50, or 100) to be displayed in the Network Implementation Plan table in the Display drop-down list provided at the bottom right-corner of the table.

    If there are multiple pages of rows, use the arrow heads to traverse through the pages or enter a page number to view the entries listed on that page.
