## Presence View
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
The **Presence View** provides a visual timeline of when each device was detected on your network, making it easy to understand activity over time instead of relying only on the current status.
|
||
|
||
Use this view to answer questions such as:
|
||
|
||
* When was this device first discovered?
|
||
* When was it last seen online?
|
||
* How often does this device connect to the network?
|
||
* Has the device been continuously online or only appearing intermittently?
|
||
* When did the device disappear or return?
|
||
|
||
The timeline makes it easy to identify recurring activity patterns, unexpected outages, or devices that only appear at certain times of the day or week.
|
||
|
||
### Timeline Views
|
||
|
||
The timeline can be displayed at different time scales depending on the level of detail you need:
|
||
|
||
* **Week** – View recent activity with the highest level of detail.
|
||
* **Month** – Review activity across the past month.
|
||
* **Year** – Get a long-term overview of device presence and seasonal patterns.
|
||
|
||
Switch between these views using the **Week**, **Month**, and **Year** buttons above the timeline.
|
||
|
||
### Timeline Legend
|
||
|
||
The timeline uses color coding to indicate device presence:
|
||
|
||
* <div class="presenceOnlineNow presenceKeyBoxes" style="display:inline-block;vertical-align:middle;"></div> **Now online** – The device was detected during the most recent scan and is currently online.
|
||
* <div class="presenceOnlinePast presenceKeyBoxes" style="display:inline-block;vertical-align:middle;"></div> **Past online** – The device was online previously but is currently offline.
|
||
* <div class="presenceOnlinePastMiss presenceKeyBoxes" style="display:inline-block;vertical-align:middle;"></div> **Past online (mismatch)** – Historical activity was detected, but the beginning of the session could not be determined or conflicting data was encountered.
|
||
|
||
### Typical Uses
|
||
|
||
The Presence View is especially useful for:
|
||
|
||
* Troubleshooting intermittent connectivity issues.
|
||
* Identifying devices that frequently disconnect and reconnect.
|
||
* Understanding occupancy or usage patterns for phones, laptops, IoT devices, and other network equipment.
|
||
* Verifying when visitors' devices or temporary equipment were present on the network.
|
||
* Reviewing historical presence without searching through individual events or logs.
|
||
|
||
Unlike the Device Details page, which shows the current state of a device, the Presence View focuses on **when** devices were active, providing valuable historical context at a glance. To investigate exactly **what** changed during a device's lifetime, see the [Change Log](./DEVICE_CHANGE_LOG.md).
