# The fleet: views, filters, and bulk actions

The fleet is the list of all displays in your organization under **Displays**. What the header bar, the three views, each tile, the row menu, and the bulk bar offer — from top to bottom, as you meet them on the page.

> **Type:** reference
> **For:** anyone who keeps an eye on the status of the displays. A member reads the fleet, and Owners and Managers act from it.
> **Prerequisite:** an account in your organization. Commands and tags need the Manager or Owner role, and removing needs the Owner role.
> **Where in the portal:** **Displays**

## The header bar

Under the **Displays** title is the sentence **Every paired display in your fleet with live status.** The bar below it holds the tools you use to narrow down the list.

| Element | What it does |
|---|---|
| **Search displays …** | filters by name as you type |
| **Status** | shows only displays with one status, default **All statuses** |
| **Tag** | shows only displays with one tag, default **All tags**. Available only once a [tag](/docs/displays/name-and-tag-displays) has been created |
| **Filter by location** | shows only displays of one place, default **All places**, plus **No place**. Available only once a [location](/docs/displays/create-locations) has been created |
| **Sort** | orders by **Name A–Z**, **Name Z–A**, **Status**, **Last seen new–old**, **Last seen old–new**, or **Location A–Z** |
| **View** | switches between **Cards**, **List**, and **Map** |
| **Columns** | shows and hides columns in the list view |
| **Pair display** | top right, opens the **Add a display** dialog |

If the combination of search and filters matches nothing, it says **No display matches the active filters.** with the hint **Adjust the search, status or tag to find displays.**

The list updates itself: When a device reports in or its status changes, the portal catches up without you reloading the page.

## The three views

| View | What it is good for | What you see |
|---|---|---|
| **Cards** | the daily look at a few to a few dozen displays | one tile per display with picture, name, status, **Last seen …**, and the line **▶ …** |
| **List** | sorting and comparing large fleets | a table with the columns **Name**, **Status**, **Tags**, **Location**, and **Last seen**. You control which of them are visible via **Columns**. |
| **Map** | where the panels stand | the map with the locations of the displays (assistive technology reads it as **Map of display locations**). Each marker carries the latest screenshot or **No screenshot** and the line **reported …** or **never reported** |

The map shows only displays whose device has determined its position or whose position you have corrected. The legend counts the **… locations** and states how many **more without a determined location** remain. If no display in the selection knows its position, it says **No device in this selection knows its location.** You correct a wrong position as described in [Name displays, add tags, and correct the map position](/docs/displays/name-and-tag-displays).

## What a tile shows

| Row | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Picture at the top | a still preview of the scene that the device is currently showing according to the assignment and the playlist rotation — with real widget data, but without motion. If a playlist rotates, the picture moves along. |
| Name and status dot | the name of the display and its status. [Read status](/docs/displays/read-status) explains the values. |
| **Last seen …** | when the display last reported in. If it never did, it says **Never seen**. |
| **▶ …** | the running content, that is, a playlist, a scene, or a media item. If a change is coming up, **until HH:MM** follows. |

Instead of the running content, these substitute texts appear in the **▶ …** line and in the picture:

| Substitute text | Meaning |
|---|---|
| **Broadcast pause** | an intentionally empty panel is planned for this time |
| **Nothing scheduled** | nothing is assigned to the display, and it shows the placeholder |
| **Device not playing** | the display is blocked or frozen |
| **Not connected yet** | the web display is created, but no browser has opened its address yet |
| **Preview unavailable** | the scene can no longer be retrieved |
| **Image playing** / **Video playing** | a single media item plays in a loop |

A display with the status **Offline** keeps its picture: It keeps playing the version it loaded last. Only the status dot and **Last seen …** show you that the feedback is missing.

A click on the tile opens the [display record](/docs/displays/display-record).

## The row menu

Every tile and every row carries a menu with actions for exactly this display.

| Entry | What happens |
|---|---|
| **Open** | opens the display record on the **Overview** tab |
| **Show playback** | opens the display record on the **Playback** tab |
| **Rename …** | opens **Rename display** with the **New name** field. **Save** reports **Name saved.** |
| **Tags …** | opens **Tags**. A click assigns the tag or takes it back. |
| **Open device** | jumps to the device record of the machine behind the display |
| **Screenshot** | requests a picture of the current panel |
| **Identify** | makes this one display light up briefly |
| **Remove …** | takes the display out of the fleet and frees its booked seat, see [Remove a display](/docs/displays/remove-display) |

What **Screenshot** and **Identify** trigger on the panel is described under [Remote maintenance](/docs/displays/remote-maintenance).

## Bulk actions

With the checkboxes, you select several displays. **Select all** takes the whole visible list. The bulk bar then appears at the top with **N selected** and **Clear selection**.

| Button | What happens |
|---|---|
| **Assign tag …** | opens **Tags** with the sentence **A click assigns the tag to all N selected displays.** |
| **Screenshot** | requests a picture from every selected display. The confirmation reads **Screenshot requested from the selection.** |
| **Combine into a video wall** | makes one shared surface from the selection, see [Create a video wall](/docs/displays/create-video-wall) |
| **Remove …** | removes all selected displays, and each of them frees its booked seat. The dialog names their number, and the confirmation reads, for example, **2 displays removed.** If one of them is the last one on its device, the device goes back to pairing. |

If a device does not accept the command, the portal names the number: **N devices did not accept the command.**

## Empty fleet

If there are no displays yet, the middle of the page says **No displays have been paired yet.** with the sentence **Pair your first device to start playing content.** and the **Pair display** button. The way is described in [Pair a display](/docs/displays/pair-display).
