Overview of the Device Details page
On a device's Device Details page, you can see detailed device information and perform actions on the device. You can access this page from any page that includes linked device identifiers, such as a device report, a group, or a page in the Devices area.

To view a device's Device Details page:
-
Do one of the following:
- On any page that shows linked device identifiers in the first column of the results grid, such as the All Devices page in the Devices area, click the link for the device that you want to view.
- On the navigation bar, enter search criteria in the Search Devices field and then click a device in the list that opens.
The device's Device Details page opens.
- To close the Device Details page and return to the page that you navigated from, click the
icon in the top right of the page.

The top section of the page is divided into four areas:

The following device identifiers show near the top of the page:
- Device name The name assigned to the device in the operating system. For Chromebooks, device name is not applicable and therefore shows as "Chrome" in the Secure Endpoint Console.
- Serial number The identification number assigned to the device by the device manufacturer. For Windows devices, this value may correspond to the serial number of the BIOS, the motherboard, or the chassis, depending on the manufacturer. | Absolute Identifier The unique Electronic Serial Number (ESN) assigned to the Secure Endpoint Agent that is installed on a device. | IMEI (applies to select Microsoft Surface devices only)
- Username Username of the user who was logged in to the device when an agent connection occurred. If no user was logged in during the most recent agent connection, the last detected username shows. If you are viewing a report and want to see if a user was logged in during the most recent connection, add the Current Username column to the report. If no user was logged in at the time of the connection, "No Data" or two em dashes (— —) show in the column.

One or more banners may show on the page to alert you to the device's current status. There are five types of banners:
