Console button reference

Device detail page

Opened from «Device management → Devices» by clicking a tablet. Most actions on this page affect only that one device.

Button	When it can be used	What happens	Where to check
01Back	Always available	Returns to the device list	Nothing to check
02Move	First pick a class in the dropdown next to it that is different from the current one, otherwise the button does not respond	Says «Moved» and tells you how many policies specific to the old class were withdrawn	The «Class» field at the top shows the new class; a move task appears in «Task log» below
03Start class (40 min)	The account needs the «operator» permission; the device must belong to a class; no class may be in progress (the button is hidden during a class)	Asks for confirmation, then says «Class started»	This button becomes «End class»; only then do the classroom features (watch screen, capture whole class) become available
04End class	Shown only while a class is in progress	Says «Class ended»	The button turns back into «Start class»; from then on watch screen and capture whole class are refused (compliance requirement: student screens are not provided outside class hours)
05Allow factory reset on this device	The account needs the «operator» permission. The button uses an orange warning style, set apart from the green ordinary buttons on the same page	Asks for confirmation; after confirming, the card changes from «Blocked» to «Allowed»	On the tablet, «Settings → Reset» is no longer greyed out. ⚠️ Once allowed, the student can wipe the device: click «Block again» when done
06Block again	The account needs the «operator» permission; shown only while it is allowed	Withdraws the exception above	The button turns back into «Allow factory reset…»; on the tablet the reset option is greyed out again
07Update this device	There must be a client version newer than the one on the device; when already up to date the button is grey and does not respond	Says «Pushed x.x.x» or gives the reason for failure per device	An update task appears in «Task log»; once the device finishes updating, the client version number on this page changes
08Temporarily allow hardware	Always available (opens a dialog)	A dialog opens where you pick camera / microphone / Bluetooth / USB / file transfer and memory card, for 10, 20 or 45 minutes	After confirming, «Withdraw temporary access» appears on this page; restrictions come back automatically when the time is up. Items that were not restricted, or that have a permanent exception, are skipped
09Revoke temporary access	Shown only while some temporary access is active	Asks for confirmation, then says how many items were withdrawn	The «Withdraw temporary access» button disappears; that hardware is restricted again on the tablet
10Pin to an app	Always available (opens a dialog)	A dialog opens: pick an app or type the package name, for 15, 40 or 90 minutes	The student tablet is locked inside that app and is released automatically when the time is up. Requires client 4.1.3.8 or later
11Unpin	Always available, but if the device is not pinned, clicking it changes nothing	Asks for confirmation, then says it has been unpinned	The tablet can return to its home screen; if it is still locked, check the receipt for that task in «Task log»
12Push courseware	Always available (opens a dialog); the courseware must be uploaded to «File library» first	A dialog opens: the source can be a «web address» or the «file library», and you can set a title	The student tablet opens it immediately in the client's own viewer: no browser is needed and it works even when the browser is hidden; the student can close it with the button in the top right corner
13Take screenshot	The account needs the «operator» permission; the device must be online (if it is offline you are told right away instead of waiting)	The button spins and, after ten-odd seconds, a full-screen preview opens by itself showing what is on the tablet right now	After closing the preview, the thumbnail and capture time stay in the «Screen» card at the top of the page (that card sits outside the tabs and is always visible). Past captures are in the «Captures and files» tab, which has another button of the same name
14Save	At the bottom of the «Device status» tab; it changes the name shown in the console. The tablet's own system device name cannot be changed (Android does not allow device-management apps to change it), so the command panel has no «Change device name» command	Says «Saved»	The page title and the name in the device list change; the tablet's own system device name does not

Classroom page

Reached from «Classroom management → Classroom» after picking a class. Actions on this page affect the whole class.

Button	When it can be used	What happens	Where to check
15Start class	The account needs edit permission; pick a class at the top first (with no class selected, no button responds)	A dialog opens: set the class length and confirm	The end time of this class appears at the top; «End class» and «Extend» become available
16Lock class	Pick a class first	Says «Sent to N/M devices» (M is the class size, N the successful pushes)	The result is on the student tablets: their screens are locked. The console only shows how many devices it was sent to; if one did not lock, check the receipt in «Task log» on that device's detail page
17Unlock	Pick a class first	As above: says «Sent to N/M devices»	The student tablets work normally again
18Screenshot class	Pick a class first. The button is active at all times, but compliance requires that student screens are not provided outside class hours: clicking it with no class in progress still sends the command, yet no images come back	Says «Sent to N devices, M arrived immediately». It jumps to «Classroom monitoring» only when at least one device arrives immediately; with M = 0 the page does not move, which looks like nothing happened	On the «Classroom monitoring» page it jumps to. If it does not jump, look at M in the message first: M = 0 means no device was online at that moment — check that the devices are online and that the class has actually started
19End class	Pick a class first; a class must be in progress	Asks for confirmation, then says on how many devices the class settings were withdrawn	The class info at the top disappears; from then on watch screen and capture whole class are refused
20Extend	Pick a class first; a class must be in progress	Asks how many minutes to add and, after confirming, shows the new end time	The end time shown at the top has moved later
21Refresh	Pick a class first	Reads the class's device state again, with no popup message (no message is the normal outcome, not a dead button)	The «Online N/M» next to the title and the connection state and battery on the device cards below all update together
22Pin to an app	Pick a class first	Pick an app in the dialog and confirm; it says on how many devices it worked	The student tablets are locked inside that app; for any that did not take effect, check «Task log» on that device's detail page
23Unpin	Pick a class first	Asks for confirmation, then says on how many devices it was removed	The student tablets can return to their home screen
24Temporarily allow hardware	Pick a class first	Pick the hardware and duration in the dialog and confirm	«Withdraw temporary access» appears; it is withdrawn automatically when the time is up, no need to do it by hand
25Revoke temporary access	Pick a class first; some temporary access must be active	Asks for confirmation, then says on how many devices it was withdrawn	That hardware is restricted again on the student tablets
26Push courseware	Pick a class first; the courseware must be uploaded to «File library»	Pick the courseware in the dialog and confirm	It opens automatically on the student tablets; for any that did not open, check the receipt in «Task log» on that device
27Roster	Pick a class first	The «<class> · Student roster» dialog opens	Paste the list into the dialog to enrol students, one per line: `name`, or `name,number`, or `name,number,tablet SN`. Filling the third column with the SN binds the tablet directly. Once enrolled, the monitoring wall and the device list show the student's name instead of the device identifier

Classroom monitoring (the wall)

Reached from «Classroom management → Classroom monitoring», or automatically after «Capture whole class». This is where you see every student screen.

Button	When it can be used	What happens	Where to check
28Refresh round	Only while a class is in progress. Outside class it says «Start the class first» and sends nothing	Sends one capture to the whole class and says «Requested N devices / pushed successfully to M»	On this very page: one image per tablet, appearing over some ten seconds
29Reload images only	Always available	Reloads the existing captures; sends no command to the devices	The images on the page become the latest ones already stored on the server (no new capture is taken)
30View	Open one of the images first; the button appears once it is enlarged	Jumps to that device's detail page	On the device detail page you can act on that single device and view its task log

Command panel

The «Send commands» area at the bottom of the device detail page; it also appears in the bulk actions of the device list and on the classroom page. Commands are grouped by purpose: screen / apps / files / device settings / status / irreversible.

Button	When it can be used	What happens	Where to check
31The «irreversible» row (restart, clear local policies, unenrol, factory reset)	This whole row has a red outline and is clearly distinct from the five rows of ordinary commands above; it also asks for a second confirmation	The confirmation box states that the command cannot be undone	A record is kept in the «Send log» tab. ⚠️ «Unenrol device» takes the tablet out of management: it has to be provisioned again to come back
32Shut down, Capture logs (shown by device edition from 605)	Shut down is not shown on standard-edition tablets (a device owner has no shutdown API; use Restart instead); it appears only on 10-inch preinstalled (system) tablets. Capture logs works on both editions: on the standard edition it collects ClassPad's own run log	Capture logs: once uploaded you are told «ClassPad run log uploaded» with its size	A ClassPad-log-….zip appears in the device page's Files tab and can be downloaded. «Rename device» has been removed from the panel: to change the name shown in the console, use the field and «Save» at the bottom of the «Device status» tab
33«Collect app usage time» (marked «Needs setup»); «Check for update now» (shown depending on the tablet)	«Collect app usage time» can be clicked as usual — it works once the precondition is met; hover over the button to see what is needed. «Check for update now» needs a compatible firmware updater on the tablet; when the tablet reports it has none, the button is not shown (from 605)	If the precondition is not met the device reports a failure, and the reason says what is missing	«Collect app usage time» needs «Usage access» turned on for the tablet, which provisioning does automatically; on older tablets plug in USB and run `classpad-provision -grant-usage`. On tablets without the «Check for update now» button, check for firmware updates by hand in the tablet's system settings
