General

• Send Usage statistics: We collect benchmark and statistical data about quality, stability, and usability of the product from every installation with an intent to enhance the product quality. The collected data will be used as a whole during the analysis and we will not share this data with others. This feature is enabled by default. If you do not want your data to be collected, you can disable it any time.
• Add/Remove Disclaimer Text in exported PDF/XLSX: Enable this option to add or remove disclaimer in all your exported reports.

A device template is a set of predefined properties such as device type, vendor, monitors and the monitoring interval for a device. It lets you automatically classify and associate monitors across multiple devices.
