Assets view
The Assets view, part of the eyeSight, is a web-based search, filter and discovery tool that lets you leverage extensive network and device information collected and correlated by Forescout products.
Assets view information is valuable to various groups across your organization, including:
- Security teams: Use device or policy information to quickly locate risky assets.
- IT departments: Use an IP address or other device information to locate and contact users when maintenance is required at the device.
- Help Desk/SOC: Use device information to handle security incidents in real time.
By using the Assets view, crisis management and subsequent remediation time is shortened.
Use this view to display a tabulated list of all the devices that Forescout eyeSight detects, subject to any selected device filters. The Assets view provides several device filter methods, which you can apply separately, or in tandem. You can filter the Assets view or drill down from a widget into Assets view to list only the devices relevant to a specific area of interest, for example, devices corresponding to a certain policy / sub-rule. You can view information about any device on any segment for which you have permissions, which is defined as part of your user scope.
In addition, you can save your own customized Assets view, and you can export any filtered list of devices to a CSV file.

Assets view layout
The Assets view layout may differ according to the product you have purchased.
The Assets view displays columns with information about selected devices. The available columns depend on the product you have purchased.
The page is initially sorted according to IP Address/DNS names of the devices.
Click 
in the column header to sort a column, or move the column in the table. You can also drag and drop columns to reorder the table.
Forescout eyeSight Assets view search and filter
The Assets view page can display up to 1000 devices. If you cannot find the device, use the Search field at the top of the page to refine your search.
The Filters pane on the left contains the Assets view filter families (Policies, Segments and Groups), as well as filters added as a result of Drill Down into a Widget.
For information about the filters in the Filter pane, see Filter Display of the Assets.
The order of the items in the filters is according to (descending) count. If two items have the same count, they are listed alphabetically.
Filter display of the Forescout eyeSight Assets
Relevant filters appear in the left pane of the Assets view.
For the Policy / Segment / Group families of filters, the relationship between the inclusive filters is based on OR logic. For example, if you select three sub-rules (sub- rule A, sub-rule B and sub-rule C) of a Policy, then the search will be for sub-rule A OR sub-rule B OR sub-rule C. If you select items from more than one family of filters, for example, from Policy and Segment, then the search will be for Policy AND Segment.
One or more colored rectangular tags at the top of the page help you identify which devices are currently filtered and displayed. For example, 
for a UPS device group.
