When in the Device Manager of a device folder, it is “unaware” of devices in other device folders (or in the root of the network component). However, from the root Device Manager view (of the network), you can “flatten” the folder structure to view all devices by selecting it from the Manager menu (Figure 20) or by simply clicking the “All Descendants” tool on the toolbar (Figure 21).

Be aware that in a large network, with many device folders and devices, using the all descendants feature may decrease performance. This might result from so many devices/points being subscribed.

If you are using device folders, and you click on a table column to resort devices, please be aware that any device-to-device folder organization is lost during that view. However, you can always see contents of device folders clearly in the Nav tree, and again when returning to the Device Manager view from another view.
