Main window
The Scout Board main window after logon shows the Dashboard with status information and an overview on different aspects of the managed devices.
Scout Board display languages: English, German and Japanese. Scout Board uses the browser’s preferred language — the language at the top of the browser’s language list — and reads it again each time Scout Board loads; it has no language menu of its own. If that preferred language is anything other than English, German or Japanese, Scout Board is shown in English, even if German or Japanese appears lower in the browser’s list. With some browser languages, some common buttons, field labels and table controls appear in the browser’s own language instead.
Some text stays in English in the Japanese interface, for example some server-side error messages and a few built-in list and table controls. Scout Board does not translate names and values that administrators enter, such as OU, device, application and command names. Device states, such as Online, are translated. The legacy Scout Console and the Scout installation program are not affected: both remain available in English and German only.

The colored checkmark icon opens System status, a live health check of the Scout Server, the Scout database, the Scout Board database layer, the Citrix License Server, device licensing, and recovery settings. Each check shows a green checkmark when healthy, or a warning triangle with a short explanation when it needs attention. Click the refresh icon to run the checks again.

The bell icon opens Notifications. If nothing needs your attention, it tells you that notifications are shown here as soon as they become available.

The profile icon lets you log off the current user.
Devices
The Devices section offers three different views to show your devices:
-
All devices: All devices are displayed in a list regardless of their organizational unit. The list can be sorted and filtered as desired.
-
OU structure: The hierarchical OU structure is displayed as a tree view. All organizational units (in the following OUs) can be expanded and displayed.
-
Dynamic Device Groups: Defined Dynamic Device Groups are displayed with the devices currently matching.
For a selected OU or Dynamic Device Group, on the right under Devices, the assigned devices and schedules are shown. To the right, the details of an OU, a Dynamic Device Group or a device may be displayed.
