The <font color="#323232">Devices</font> page in the Admin Portal, offers both basic and advanced searching features. The basic search features provide a way to find devices or users using a limited set of criteria. The Advanced search features allow you to create complex search queries using the full set of available criteria. You can also apply advanced search criteria to a new or existing/unassigned or existing/unused label.
