Understanding the Customer section of the Dealer Dashboard

On the Dealer Dashboard you have the ability to see all of the customers under your account in the section at the bottom titled Customers. Various information about the accounts is available, as well as the ability to set a status for each of them. You may utilize the filter to help see more information, or less, depending on filter criteria.

Customers fields Explained: 

Customer:
This field provides the information for customer names and links to their accounts. If you feel some customers are missing, you might use the filter to "show archived" on the right incase any customer accounts are currently hidden. 

Managed devices:
Number of managed printers / max total number of devices for ALL TIME on the account. The number does not reflect current active managed devices but all managed devices vs max total devices ever seen on the account (inc. Managed + Un-managed + Not Assigned).

New:
This number reflects the number of devices in the "New Devices" group located under the customer's Groups>Group Devices menu. New devices will join this group when seen in JetAdvice. This provides an opportunity for users to see new devices as they come in and know if there is a device in the group, it can then be removed from the New Devices group and managed with other groups.

Email alerts
Alerts on the dashboards reflect more instant alerts detected and presented when communicated by the Data Collectors.

Last Collect:
Indicates the last time a Data Collector has performed a Collect phase. Note, there may be more than 1 Data Collector on  the account, some may be offline.
