How to assign a custom name to a client?

You can easily assign custom names to your clients on the Plasma Cloud console. This feature makes it more convenient and faster to recognize specific clients. Custom names can be given to both existing and new clients (i.e., those who have never used your network or were connected more than 30 days ago).

Existing Clients

To assign a custom name to an existing client, you need to:

1. Log into the Plasma Cloud console;
2. Select the Organisation and Network of interest from the top right menu;
3. Navigate to Clients in the main menu on the left; and
4. Identify the client in question in the Clients table.

Next, you can either:

1. Click anywhere on the client row inside the table; or
2. Click on the action button (three dots) in the last column of the client row and select Edit name.

Either way, you will be redirected to the client details page. Simply type your custom name in the Custom name text field and click the Save button. Please note, if you click on 'Edit Name', focus will automatically be on the 'Custom name' text field in the client details page.

New Clients

If you wish to give a custom name to a new client, or to one that hasn't been active for more than 30 days, you can manually add a new client policy by following these steps:

1. Log into the Plasma Cloud console;
2. Navigate to Clients in the main menu;
3. Click on the Add Policy button on top of the clients table;
4. Enter the client MAC address and click Add;

Same as for existing clients, you will be redirected to the client details page. Simply type a name in the Custom name text field and click on the Save button.

Please note the new client will appear in the table shown under the Policies tab. Once the client connects to your network, it will be shown alongside other active clients in the table under the Activities tab as well.
