Customer Support Tool App

This document contains topical, step-by-step guides on using the Arrayent Customer Support Tool (CST) web application. The Customer Support Tool allows your organization’s Customer Support Agents to search for devices and users, access and modify end-user information, monitor and control their devices, manage their alerts and remove a device from a user.

This capabilities can be restricted to Read-Only access for some users. The interface looks exactly the same, but all the modification options are greyed out or removed.

  • The ACTIVE VALUE column displays the current value of the attribute. You may CHANGE the value here. WARNING: be sure you are authorized to change any customer attributes and have taken care to make sure this will not adversely affect the customer.
  • UPDATE TIME indicates when that value was set.
