The **Device Management** Portal Function has the **Device Groups** and **Device Inventory** sub-functions. These two sub-functions have a different Main Pane than other sub-functions. All device groups are shown as expendable items in the left part of the Main Pane. You can also filter the devices by name or IP address using the search box above the devices list.

Right-clicking a device or device group opens a menu of actions that you can take on the device.
