## Navigating to Devices

To access the Devices section:

1. Select the three-line menu icon in the top left of the screen.
2. Select **Devices** from the menu, located just below the **Map View** button.

This will open the Devices list view, displaying all devices associated with your account or profile.

## Finding a device

There are three ways to locate a specific device in the list.

**Search by IMEI or serial number**

Type the device IMEI number or serial number directly into the search field at the top of the list. Orion Data will filter the results to match your entry.

**Browse using pagination**

Use the page number controls and the **Next** button in the lower left of the list to move through multiple pages of devices.

**Filter by column**

Each column in the device grid supports filtering. To apply a filter:

1. Select the filter icon at the top of the column you want to filter by.
2. Check the values you want to include in the results.
3. The list will update to display only devices matching your selected criteria.

For example, to view only devices using Iridium transmission, select the filter icon on the **Transmission Type** column and check **Iridium**.

## Customising the grid

The columns displayed in the device grid can be configured using the **Grid Settings** option. This allows you to show or hide columns based on the information most relevant to your workflow.

## Using the watchlist

You can add any device to your watchlist for quick access. To add a device to the watchlist, select the star icon in the first column of that device’s row.

To view only devices in your watchlist, or only devices that are currently alarmed, use the toggle buttons in the top left of the Devices list view.
