Get familiar with the Guardian UI

Top navigation bar

In the top navigation bar, you can access your profile, as well as sign out of Guardian. This also contains the breadcrumbs, from which you can select a system name, also known as a system definition, as well as understand at a glance where you are in Guardian. You can also click the sun/moon icon to change themes.

Each Guardian page has a breadcrumb trail so that you know exactly where you are. All breadcrumb trails start with Home /. Depending on the UI page you are on, the breadcrumb also provides quick selections, such as selecting a system.

URLs

Share deep links to particular Guardian pages with colleagues.

You can access any main page in the sidebar, including:

  • Systems (coming soon): Shows your partially and fully configured systems. You can download the system provisioning package from here, as well as view and export certificates. This has two tabs:

  • Provisioning: Upload a PR for each device, then download the Certified Profile. Although both Provisioning and Devices show device provisioning status, Devices is the newer page, enabling you to manually or automatically manage device provisioning, as well as export a device provisioning report.

  • Devices: Shows your organization's device provisioning activity. You cannot currently upload PRs for devices yet. This page replaces the concept of the Certified Profile with that of provisioning package, which is a zip of all files you will need to install the package on your device. This has two tabs:

  • Downloads (coming soon): Download the Guardian library that meets your platform and architecture needs.

  • Help: Access this Help center, enter a support ticket, view the changelog, and check your product versioning.

    • Get started page

  • Administration (coming soon): Manage user access to your systems.

Tables

Customizable data display

Take control of how you view and interact with data. You can adjust table column visibility, perform multi-sorts, and choose your preferred display density.

  • Content refresh setting: Take charge of your data updates by setting auto-refresh intervals or turning it off entirely. You can also refresh manually refresh.

  • Pagination: Navigate large datasets with ease using our new pagination feature, ensuring you don’t lose your place.

  • Hide or show columns: Click the Columns link to toggle on/off specific columns. If you want to hide a particular column that is already displayed, you can also hover over each column header to display a ... icon. Click this, then select Hide column.

  • Customizable columns: Tailor your tables to display exactly what you need. Use the Columns link to show or hide specific columns and hover over column headers to drag and drop them into your preferred order with the icon.

  • Change column order: Hover over each column header to display a ... icon. Click this, then select Move right or Move left to order columns exactly how they work best for you.

  • Column sorting: Sort columns in alphabetic or reverse-alphabetic order. Hover over each column header to display a ... icon. Click this, then select Sort A-Z or Sort Z-A.

  • Flexible display density: Optimize your view by selecting a compact or expanded display mode and adjusting the number of rows per page to suit your preferences.

  • Date picker: Gain precise control over date filtering with options for absolute/relative dates, custom ranges, and multi-month views.

Why can't I see some columns?

If you don't see particular columns, that means that they are currently hidden by default. You can customize your view to show only the data you want, nothing you don't — enabling you to stay focused on what matters most. Click the Columns link in the top of the table to see which columns are available, then toggle on/off columns to display only the ones you need.
