Watchlist Widget: A Centralized View of Alerts
The Watchlist Widget is a powerful and centralized tool designed to help administrators efficiently monitor and manage potential alerts across their environment. By providing a comprehensive view of the latest security issues, device status, and informational alerts, the widget ensures that critical updates are easily accessible in one place, streamlining the process of addressing any issues that arise.
Important: The "My Alert Center" widget has been renamed to Watchlist.
Features and Functionalities of the Watchlist Widget:
The Watchlist widget displays your favorites watchlists by default. You can also apply other filters, such as by security or information type, to view specific data as needed.
1. Click the plus sign icon to add a new watchlist to the widget. In the Add Watchlist window, enter the name and description of the watchlist, then configure it using the advanced search criteria.
2. Click on the dropdown menu to select a filter. The widget includes filters for different categories, such as Favorites, Security, and Informational. You can switch between these filters to view relevant watchlists based on your needs.
3. Security alert tabs are displayed in red when no devices match the alert criteria and turn green once matching devices are detected. Informational alert tabs are shown in blue to indicate non-critical updates.
4. Clicking on the Device Count will redirect you to the Device Dashboard, where you can create a new device group, view devices, locate them, and perform many other actions.
5. Clicking the "View Details" button from the widget redirects users to the Watchlist Dashboard, where all relevant information about the selected watchlist is displayed. This page allows users to view up to a maximum of 100 watchlist items.
