System Configuration
System List
Screen Overview
The System List screen provides a centralized directory of all BluSKY systems. It allows users to search, filter, and review high‑level attributes for each system (e.g., Customer, Integrator, PIN policy, base building designation). From this list you can create new systems, open an existing system for editing, or initiate a sync status check for selected systems.
