Device Templates Editor
This page describes the device template editor in SafeQ 5.0 web interface. Some attributes may differ based on available configuration and/or license.
Device templates is the tool to create/configure one template device type, which will be used for the installation of many others devices of the same type and same settings. This can be useful when customer has got a lot of devices of the same vendor and version.
