Viewing managed devices
In the navigation pane select the Device Manager tab and the device type — FortiGate, FortiCarrier, FortiSwitch, FortiMail — to display all units of the selected type that are managed by the FortiManager system. You can then select a single unit in the device tree to display a list of all of its managed devices on one screen.
Selecting each column header sorts the information in ascending or descending order by that column. An arrow to the right of the column name indicates the currently selected column, and ascending (up arrow) or descending order (down arrow).
Right-clicking in a device row opens the right-click menu. It allows you to select one of following options: Add (Device or Virtual Domain), Edit, Delete, Refresh, Import Policy, Column Settings, or Clear Filter. See “Managing devices” for more information.
