Amr Adam,

In principle a device name is the same name as what was entered in the operating system of a computer. If you e.g. would re-name your laptop (with which you crunch in your car), AmrMob1, that would be the recognizable name shown in the device manager. Put a little sticker with the name on the devices and you'll always know which one you're crunching with and to look for in the My Grid statistics pages. There's used to be an edit function back when the UD agent was running, but that got disabled when we started to use BOINC, so unsure if there are structural reasons why that is. E.g. when WCG makes it editable on the website, then names would not auto-update anymore when members rename their computer. In your situation, a little cheat sheet what is where would help you immediately. Your suggestion will be read I'm sure, so maybe there will be a technical response why it could not be, or if considered for implementation. I like it in that my history has multiple devices with same name due botched installs, but on other hand, a device not active in the past 7-14 days disappears from the current view [you'll have to look in the history], so see only 3 that did something. The device manager btw does list active devices and when they last returned a result to help identify problem hosts.

Cheers
