Device Type Categories

Device Type Categories is a standard configuration interface for adding, editing, and removing device type categories from Unified Assurance. A device type category is used when creating Device Types, and will be assigned to a device during SNMP Discovery or by setting a Static Category on a device. When viewing the device list, the image assigned to the category will be displayed.

Refer to the Standard Configuration Interface guide for details on interacting with the grid and form.

This user interface calls REST methods from api/device/categories.

To open this interface, from the main navigation menu, select Configuration, then Device Catalog, and then Device Type Categories.

Form Fields
