Description This article describes an unexpected error where the 'Users and Devices' page does not load after downgrading.
Scope FortiGate, FortiOS 7.4.x, 7.2.x, 7.0.x.
Solution

When downgrading FortiGate from FortiOS version 7.4.x, down to version 7.2.x or 7.0.x, an error may occur where the 'Users & Devices' dashboard section shows the name 'Assets & Identities', which is the section name on version 7.4.x.

 

This can cause a malfunction where no information is shown. To correct this, download a backup file, open it in a text editor, and replace this portion:

set name "Assets & Identities"
set vdom "root"
    config widget
        edit 1
            set type device-inventory
            set width 2
            set height 1
        next
        edit 2
            set type identities
            set x-pos 1
            set width 2
            set height 1
        next
        edit 3
            set type firewall-user
            set x-pos 2
            set width 2
            set height 1
        next
        edit 4
            set type quarantine
            set x-pos 3
            set width 2
            set height 1
        next
        edit 5
            set type nac-vlans
            set x-pos 4
            set width 2
            set height 1
        next
    end
next

 

By this:

 

set name "Users & Devices"
set vdom "root"
    config widget
        edit 1
            set type device-inventory
            set width 2
            set height 1
            set table-visualization "charts"
            set device-list-view-type "hardware_vendor"
        next
        edit 2
            set type forticlient
            set x-pos 1
            set width 2
            set height 1
            set table-visualization "charts"
            set device-list-online "online"
            set device-list-telemetry "sending"
            set device-list-view-type "interface"
        next
        edit 3
            set type firewall-user
            set x-pos 2
            set width 2
            set height 1
        next
        edit 4
            set type quarantine
            set x-pos 3
            set width 2
            set height 1
        next
        edit 5
            set type nac-vlans
            set x-pos 4
            set width 2
            set height 1
        next
    end
next

 

Load this config file to the FortiGate using the restore option, the dashboard option will now show under the correct name and work as expected.
