Finding a Device Profile

This topic describes how to use the Find and List Device Profile window. The Find and List lookup function allows you to search for user and autogenerated device profiles or both types. The function searches every type of device profile against the following categories:

Device name

Device description

Procedure


Step 1 Choose Device > Device Profile.

The Find and List Device Profile window displays.

Step 2 From the drop- down lists, choose your search text for the type of device profiles you want listed and click Find.


Note To find all device profiles registered in the database, choose All Device Profiles from the drop-down list without entering any search text and click Find. You can also use "Device Name is not empty" as your search criteria.


The window refreshes and then displays the device profiles that match your search criteria.

To jump to an autogenerated device profile or user device profile:

Step 3 Choose the device profile from the list of records that match your search criteria.

To delete device profiles:

Step 4 Use the check box in the first column to delete multiple device profiles at once. Check the first check box in the list and click Delete Selected. You can also choose individual user device profiles to delete them separately.


Note You cannot delete autogenerated device profiles. User device profiles cannot be deleted if they are being used as a logout profile by phones.
