- Name
In this field, you can view and modify the client device name in the administration group.
- Description
In this field, you can enter an additional description for the client device.
- Device status
Status of the client device assigned on the basis of the criteria defined by the administrator for the status of anti-virus protection on the device and the activity of the device on the network.

- Do not disconnect from the Administration Server
If this option is enabled, continuous connectivity between the managed device and the Administration Server is maintained. You may want to use this option if you are not using push servers, which provide such connectivity.
If this option is disabled and push servers are not in use, the managed device only connects to the Administration Server to synchronize data or to transmit information.
The maximum total number of devices with the Do not disconnect from the Administration Server option selected is 300.
This option is disabled by default on managed devices. This option is enabled by default on the device where the Administration Server is installed and stays enabled even if you try to disable it.

The current status of file encryption on the local drives of the device. For a description of the statuses, see the Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows Help.
- Visible
- The Device status defined by application section provides information about the device status that is defined by the managed application installed on the device. This device status can differ from the one defined by Kaspersky Security Center Cloud Console.
- The General section displays general information about the client device. Information is provided on the basis of data received during the last synchronization of the client device with the Administration Server:
- Applications
This tab lists all Kaspersky applications installed on the client device.This tab contains the Start and Stop buttons that allow you to start and stop the selected Kaspersky application (excluding Network Agent). You can use these buttons if port 15000 UDP is available on the managed device for receipt push-notifications from Administration Server. If the managed device is unavailable for push-notifications, but the mode of continuous connection to Administration Server is enabled (the Do not disconnect from the Administration Server option in the General section is enabled), the Start and Stop buttons are available too. Otherwise, when you try to start or stop the application, an error message is displayed. Also you can click the application name to view general information about the application, a list of events that have occurred on the device, and the application settings.
- Active policies and policy profiles
This tab lists the policies and policy profiles that are currently assigned to the managed device.
- Tasks
On the Tasks tab, you can manage client device tasks: view the list of existing tasks, create new ones, remove, start and stop tasks, modify their settings, and view execution results. The list of tasks is provided based on data received during the last session of client synchronization with the Administration Server. The Administration Server requests the task status details from the client device. If port 15000 UDP is available on the managed device for receipt push-notifications from Administration Server, the task status is displayed and buttons for managing the task are enabled. If the managed device is unavailable for push-notifications, but the mode of continuous connection to Administration Server is enabled (the Do not disconnect from the Administration Server option in the General section is enabled), the actions with tasks are available too.
If connection is not established, the status is not displayed and buttons are disabled.
- Events
The Events tab displays events logged on the Administration Server for the selected client device.
- Security issues
In the Security issues tab, you can view, edit, and create security issues for the client device. Security issues can be created either automatically, through managed Kaspersky applications installed on the client device, or manually by the administrator. For example, if some users regularly move malware from their removable drives to devices, the administrator can create a security issue. The administrator can provide a brief description of the case and recommended actions (such as disciplinary actions to be taken against a user) in the text of the security issue, and can add a link to the user or users.
A security issue for which all of the required actions have been taken is called processed. The presence of unprocessed security issues can be chosen as the condition for a change of the device status to Critical or Warning.
This section contains a list of security issues that have been created for the device. Security issues are classified by severity level and type. The type of a security issue is defined by the Kaspersky application, which creates the security issue. You can highlight processed security issues in the list by selecting the check box in the Processed column.
- Tags
In the Tags tab, you can manage the list of keywords that are used for finding client devices: view the list of existing tags, assign tags from the list, configure auto-tagging rules, add new tags and rename old tags, and remove tags.
