Host Visibility

Use the Host Visibility section of the Host Properties page to add, edit, or delete host/node visibility relationships. You can indicate which other hosts in the network can see the host, and whether or not the host has the authority to see the nodes of another host.

In the Navigation Pane, clicktap My Network under the Robot Network menu. If the menu is hidden, hover over the Navigation Pane to expand it. Then, clicktap The Show Actions button. Show Actions next to the host you want to view and select Host Properties.
