Device Type Categories
Device Type Categories is a standard configuration interface for adding, editing, and removing device type categories from Unified Assurance. A device type category is used when creating Device Types, and will be assigned to a device during SNMP Discovery or by setting a Static Category on a device. When viewing the device list, the image assigned to the category will be displayed.
Refer to the Standard Configuration Interface guide for details on interacting with the grid and form.
This user interface calls REST methods from api/device/categories.
The UI path for this interface is Configuration -> Device Catalog -> Device Type Categories.
