provisioningNiagara-ProvisioningManager

This view provides a central look at the status and health of platform connectivity to the various remote hosts, as well as quick access to some of the provisioning (device) extensions under each NiagaraStation. It is an available view on the Supervisor’s NiagaraNetwork, provided that the Supervisor is licensed for provisioning and has the ProvisioningNwExt installed.

The view is based on a table, where each row represents a NiagaraStation component (similar to the network’s default Station Manager view).
