Managing clients & groups

Adopt new clients

  1. Open the Adoption page. Newly running clients appear automatically.
  2. Click Adopt on a device to add it to your environment.
  3. Optionally set a nickname and assign a group.

View client status

  • The Clients page shows each machine’s online/offline state, uptime, CPU/RAM usage, and version.
  • USB connect/disconnect events can show toasts (toggle in Settings).

Create and organize groups

  1. Go to Groups.
  2. Create a group (e.g., “Front Row”, “Back Room”).
  3. Drag/drop or edit clients to assign them to groups.

Bulk select and actions

  • Filter by group, select multiple clients, then choose an action:
    • Wake on LAN
    • Run a script on all selected
    • Export/Import configuration (see Backups & data)

Client maintenance

  • Rename a client to something meaningful.
  • Re-adopt a device if its identity changes.
  • Remove a client to stop tracking it (can be adopted again later).

Troubleshooting

  • Client not appearing? Ensure the Client app is running and the network/firewall allows local connections to the Server.
  • Wake‑on‑LAN not working? Verify BIOS/NIC WOL settings and that the MAC address is correct.
