Overview

By choosing Organization > Overview, you can see a summary of all of the networks in a particular organization. Clicking Expand on the floating network list to the right of the page will display more detailed information about each network.  The usage data at the top of the expanded network list top summarizes cumulative usage across all networks, and the map shows network locations with color-coded markers corresponding to the network list. Mouse over a network in the list and the network marker on the map is highlighted.

Please refer to our documentation for more information about the Organization Overview Page.

Location Analytics

Selecting Location Analytics will display information about wireless devices that have been seen by Meraki Access Points. Location Analytics utilizes 802.11 management frames that are transmitted at regular intervals from WiFi devices. These frames contain information that can be used to identify presence, time spent, and repeat visits within range of a WiFi access point. Cisco Meraki leverages our wireless APs in conjunction with our cloud infrastructure to gather this data and present it in an aggregate view on the Meraki Dashboard. This is done through intuitive and customizable graphs that can be used to understand trends such as capture rate (passersby vs. visitors), user engagement (total time spent), and visitor loyalty (new vs. repeat visits). For more detailed information about Location Analytics please refer to our Location Analytics article.

Settings

From the Organization Menu, click Settings to update the name of or delete an Organization, modify security settings for Administrator accounts, and configure API and SNMP access for the Organization. For more information about the options available on the Organization > Settings page please visit the Organization Settings KB. 

Configuration Sync

Configuration Sync is a tool that allows you to copy certain aspects of the configuration from one network to another. For example, you can sync the SSID settings of two different Wireless networks, or sync Whitelisted devices between two different networks. Configuration Sync can currently only be used for uncombined networks, we are unable to sync with a combined network. For more information on how to use Configuration Sync please refer to our Configuration Sync KB article. 

MDM 

Selecting the MDM page from the menu will allow you to configure or renew any of the following accounts and certificates that are required for various aspects of Meraki's MDM platform. The MDM page includes:

The Administrators page displays all current Administrator accounts in the Organization. This includes all full Organization Admins, Network Admins, and special Administrators.

Create Network 

The Create Network page allows you to create a new Network within the current Organization. From here you can create new networks, add devices from the Inventory into those new networks, and choose if the new network should be a blank network, bound to a template, or created as a clone of an existing network. For more information about creating networks please refer to our Creating and Deleting Dashboard Networks article.

• Associated Order Number
• Regulatory Domain Country 

From the Inventory page you can also claim more devices to the Organization, unclaim devices to allow them to be claimed elsewhere, and add claimed devices to an existing network if they are not already added. For more information about the Inventory page please refer to our Using the Organization Inventory article.

Manage Tags 

Selecting Manage Tags allows you to configure specific combinations of Network tags and Device tags to help create more customized reports on the Organization > Monitor > Summary Reports page. These combinations allow you to pull information for the Summary Report for specific devices across multiple networks by tagging the networks with one tag, then tagging the specific devices within those networks with a second tag. After doing so, you will be able to select that specific combination of Network tag and Device tag on the Manage Tags page to be available to use to filter the Summary Report by.

More information on managing tags can be found in our Manage Tags article.
