From here you can see each device's live status at a glance and take action without being onsite. {% hint style="info" %} The Devices page reflects the last data each iPad reported while online. If an iPad has been offline for a while, its details may not be current until it reconnects. {% endhint %} *** ### Current vs. Archived Two tabs at the top of the page control which devices you're viewing: * **Current**: Your active iPads. This is the default view and where day-to-day monitoring happens. * **Archived**: iPads you've set aside. Archived devices are hidden from your Current list but are never deleted—you can bring them back at any time. Archive devices to keep your current list focused on the hardware you're actively running, especially if you've cycled through older iPads or rotate devices between events. *** ### Reading the Device List Each row represents one iPad. The columns give you a live snapshot of that device's health and activity. Click on any device to see more detail about the iPad's status. Certain actions may be taken from this list, but the iPad must be online. * **Name**: The custom name you've given the iPad, with the Apple model and generation shown beneath it. * **Last Seen**: When the iPad last checked in online. The colored dot is a quick freshness indicator: green means the device reported recently, while orange or red means it has been longer since it was online. Hover the info icon for more detail. * **Latest Preset**: The preset most recently launched on that device. * **Latest Uploads**: Thumbnails of the most recent captures uploaded from the iPad. A device that hasn't captured anything yet shows *None yet*. * **App**: The HALO app version installed. A green check means the app is current; a warning icon means an update is available and we recommend updating before your next event. * **Battery**: The iPad's charge level, plus whether it's currently **Charging** or **Unplugged**. * **Disk Space**: How much storage remains on the device. Keep an eye on this for high-volume events so captures don't stop saving. * **Queue**: Whether the iPad has captures waiting in its offline queue to upload. A green check means the queue is clear. {% hint style="warning" %} Low disk space, an outdated app version, or a stale **Last Seen** time are the most common signs an iPad needs attention before an event. Check these for any device you plan to use. {% endhint %} *** ### Actions Menu Select one or more devices using the checkboxes, then open the **Actions** dropdown in the top-right corner to manage them. #### **Launch Preset** Remotely launch a new preset on an online iPad—useful for switching to a different theme mid-event without walking over to the device. {% hint style="info" %} Remote launch only works when the iPad has already granted the permissions covered in the Preflight Check (such as camera and microphone access) at least once. If those permissions have never been accepted on the device, launch it in person the first time, then you can launch remotely going forward. The device must also be online. {% endhint %} #### **Rename** Give the iPad a clear, recognizable name. Good names make a multi-iPad fleet far easier to manage—try naming by location, client, or event rather than leaving the default. #### **Archive** Move the selected iPad(s) to the **Archived** tab to keep your Current list tidy. Archiving doesn't delete anything or affect the device itself—it's purely an organizational tool, and you can unarchive at any time. You can archive or restore several iPads at the same time. 1. **Select the devices:** On the **Current** tab, check the box next to each iPad you want to archive. To select everything at once, use the checkbox in the column header. 2. **Archive them:** Open the **Actions** dropdown and choose **Archive**. The selected iPads move to the **Archived** tab. 3. **Unarchive when needed** Switch to the **Archived** tab, select the iPads you want back, and choose **Unarchive** from the **Actions** dropdown. They'll return to your **Current** list. {% hint style="info" %} **Launch Preset** and **Rename** apply to a single device, so they're only available when exactly one iPad is selected. **Archive** works on one device or many at once. {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.simplebooth.com/account-management/event-settings-management/device-management.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
