User Interface Overview

The Proxus Management Console provides a unified, feature-rich interface for managing your entire IIoT infrastructure. Whether you are browsing thousands of devices or analyzing logs, the interface offers standard tools to slice, dice, and export data.

List Views & Grids

The heart of the management console is the Data Grid. It offers desktop-grade performance and interactivity directly in the browser.

Toolbar Actions

Every list view comes with a standard toolbar at the top:

• New / Clone / Delete: Create, duplicate, or remove records.
• Update Hierarchy / Add Target: Specific context-aware actions for managing relationships.
• Refresh: Reload data from the server.
• Export: Download the current view as XLSX, CSV, or PDF.

Grid Context Menu

Right-clicking any column header reveals powerful display options:

• Sort Ascending / Descending: Quickly order your data.
• Group By This Column: Groups the entire grid by the unique values in the selected column.
• Column Chooser: Opens a panel to show/hide specific columns (e.g., hiding "Device Id" to save space).
• Hide This Column: Instantly remove a column from view.
• Show Footer: Displays summary aggregates (Count, Sum, Max, Min) at the bottom of the grid.
• Show Find Panel: Toggles the global search bar.

Advanced Filtering

Proxus provides three layers of filtering to help you find exactly what you need.

1. Global Search (Find Panel)

Located at the top-right of the grid toolbar. Typing here searches all visible text columns simultaneously.

2. Auto Filter Row

Right-click a header and select Show Auto Filter Row. This adds a dedicated input row immediately below the headers:

• Text Columns: Supports "Contains" matching.
• Numeric/Date Columns: Supports Exact Match, Ranges, and Date Pickers.

3. Visual Filter Builder

For complex queries (e.g., (Status = 'Active' OR LastSeen > '2024-01-01') AND Profile = 'Modbus'), click the Filter Editor option in the context menu or the funnel icon at the bottom-right.

• Visual Editor: Build nested conditions using a drag-and-drop interface.
• Text Mode: Write raw filter expressions if preferred.

Grouping & Analysis

You can group data by multiple levels to create pivot-like views instantly.

1. Drag a column header into the Group Panel (the grey bar above the headers that says "Drag a column header here...").
2. The grid will restructure to show data grouped by that column.
3. You can nest multiple columns (e.g., Group by Device Profile, then by Status) to analyze counts and aggregates.

Navigation & Selection

• Multi-Select: Use the checkboxes on the left edge of the grid to select multiple records for bulk operations (like Delete or Deactivate).
• Status Indicators: Visual cues like Green/Red dots in the "Active" column allow for at-a-glance health checks.

Configuration

Advanced UI behaviors, such as rendering engines, theme availability, and language support, are managed in the server configuration.
