Troubleshooting Tip: Column order in FortiManager’s Device Manager is not saved upon re-login

The default column order in Device Manager is as follows:

The column order should persist, even after logout/login, or web browser exit. This is because the column order information is stored in the web browser itself.

In the case where the column order resets to default upon web browser exit, the following items can be checked:

2. Ensure the same machine/computer is used to access FortiManager.
3. Ensure the same browser is used to access FortiManager.
