The Benefit of Running RemoteDX and EdgeDX Together
A user asked if there was any benefit to running both RemoteDX and EdgeDX in addition to each other. They are completely different, with RemoteDX adding extra metrics to VDI sessions and EdgeDX focused on corporate physical endpoints. Though each offers different data, there is benefit in drilling down from RemoteDX to the device in EdgeDX. Real-Time DX and Edge DX are two different products, so EdgeDX data is not viewable in Real-Time DX but Solve and DEX provide this data in the same web interface.

A user had setup ControlUp Solve / Edge access for help desk guys, however they weren't seeing the same controls on their Edge machines as the user could. Checked permissions as a suggestion, the user found that the permissions were set under Edge DX. They only had the viewer role, which resolved the issue.

How to Easily Keep Track of View in ControlUp Solve?
A user was having difficulty keeping track of their views when moving between locations in Solve. They wanted the ability to have set the same default view everywhere, which is currently not a feature. Dennis suggested that the configuration for the views can be found in a file, and an API endpoint exists to save presets, but difficulties in table configuration and view translation remain. Chris commented to review the notes given by a member and Dennis updated that this behavior is not intuitive and is highly prioritized.
