The Device Display Name Format allows you to format how devices are displayed in the Device List’s Display Name column. The setting lets you select multiple attributes, and the device's name will display according to the selected attributes.

For example, if you want the devices to display the Serial Number, then the IP Address, followed by the Model Name. To do so, right-click on the Device Display Name Format text box then you will see a list of device attributes. In this example, click Serial Number, then do the same steps to select the IP Address and the Model Name. The Device Display Format will then look like this: $[serial]$$[ip]$$[model]$

The default device display name is "model name (IP address of the device)" or '$[model]$$[ip]$' in the text box.

An Administrator can view the properties of a device within the Device List, and can manually enter a Display Name. In this case, the manual entry overrides the Device Display Name format described below

Hide Sensitive Data

To hide sensitive data in the Print Activity dashboard, Scan Activity dashboard, and generated reports, follow the steps below.

  1. Login as an administrator.

  2. Go to System and expand Server Settings.

  3. Click Display.

  4. In the Hide Sensitive Data, choose or more options:

    Value

    When Checked

    When Unchecked

    Don't Record Job Name for Print&Scan Activities

    The print and scan jobs are recorded, but their job names are not saved in the CloudStream DM database, so the job names are not displayed in the dashboard and in the generated report.

    If you decide to uncheck this setting, new jobs are recorded with their names and displayed in the dashboard and report.

    However, the names of the jobs before them cannot be displayed because they were not saved.

    The print and scan jobs are recorded, and their names are saved in the CloudStream DM database. You can find the job names displayed in the print activity and scan activity dashboards and in the generated report.

    If you decide to check this setting, new jobs are recorded, but their names are not saved.

    Jobs whose names are saved in the database will still be displayed, while the new job names will not be saved and, therefore, cannot be displayed.

    Don't Record User Name for Print&Scan Activities

    When a print and scan job is completed, the user name is not saved in the database.

    As a result, the dashboards and reports that contain this information will not be able to display the information.

    In Dashboards, the User Name column will display 'Unknown'.

    In Reports, the User ID and User Name columns will display 'Unknown'.

    The user name is saved in the database and displayed in corresponding fields in both dashboards and reports.
