10.2.1 Checking the number of owned devices (Device Totals)

From the perspective of any managed item, you can total the number of owned devices by group or location, as well as for the entire organization. You can check the number of devices by type and the number of devices to be replaced for each group or location. You can also check the total number of devices that are active or in stock, using Status, and you can check the total number of installed devices using Reg. date.

To sum up the number of owned devices, start from the Device Totals window, which is displayed by clicking the Device Totals job menu item. The following figure shows the Device Totals window.
