In the Configuration area of the IGEL Universal Management Suite (UMS) Web App, you can create and manage configuration objects, such as profiles and files, to support the centralized management of device settings.

...

1

Configuration Objects Directory Tree

You can structure your configuration objects, by creating directory structure under Profiles, Priority Profiles and Files in the Configuration Objects tree. The structure tree shows all created directories and subdirectories. The format (x/y) specifies 1) the number of objects contained directly in the directory and 2) the total number of objects in the directory & all subdirectories of this directory.

2

Object List

When you select a directory in the tree, the object list shows all the objects contained in the directory.

3

Management Panel

The content of the panel changes based on the selected item.

  • When you select a directory in the tree, the panel shows directory information. You can find here the Properties of the selected directory, e.g. the Name, Directory Path.

  • When you select an object from the Object List, the panel shows the details of the selected object and all the functions for the management of the object. For details, see the sections Profile Management and File Management.

Info

To use priority profiles, they have to be enabled under Network > Settings > UMS Features,see Network Settings in the IGEL UMS Web App.Once enabled, you can create priority profiles in the same way as the standard profiles, see How to Create and Assign Profiles in the IGEL UMS Web App.
