Object types in Device42 (for example, devices, IP addresses, subnets, and racks) have list pages of records. List pages have buttons on the top right of common actions for that object type.

Choose an Action from the dropdown menu and apply it in bulk for the selected items (using the checkboxes) on each list page. Click the hammer icon to the right of the menu bar to execute the action.

Required and Optional Fields

Required fields are boldRequired fields are bold

The field labels with a red asterisk indicate required fields, and all other fields on the page are optional. This convention applies to all add and edit screens across the Device42 UI. Submitting a form without filling in the required fields will throw an error such as, "The required field "Name:" does not contain a value!"
