8.2 Management of asset status

Asset Console manages the status of devices, contracts, software programs, and errors. You can set the applicable statuses at the time of registration and change them from windows at any time during operation.

For devices, contracts, and software programs, the following statuses are pre-defined, but you can add new statuses as appropriate for your jobs:

• Device statuses

  Active, Stock, Restore, Scrap, Pre-Scrap, Erase

• Contract statuses

  Under contract, Expire, Erase

• Software statuses

  Active, Restore, Scrap, Erase

• Maintenance statuses

  Wrong, Informed, Under repair, Complete

The statuses are managed by codes in the asset management database.

The device, contract, and software statuses are classified into the Active, Scrap, and Erase categories, and a target job is determined by category. When adding a status, note the range of the code to be added.

When changing statuses, note that asset information in Erase status is deleted by the Data maintenance task that has been registered in Windows Task Scheduler.

The following table shows the correspondence between the categories of device, contract, and software statuses and the jobs subject to search:

• Device status

  Category		Code range	Default status	Target job
  Active	--	000 to 499	--	Jobs under the Device Management job category
  	Used	000 to 299	002: Active
  	Not used	300 to 499	301: Stock	Jobs under the Device Management job category (other than Unused Device List).
  Scrap	--	500 to 719	--	Device Totals# Device List# Batch Update Add Related Device#
  	Restore	500 to 599	501: Restore
  	Scrap	600 to 699	601: Scrap
  	Pre-Scrap	700 to 719	701: Pre-Scrap
  Erase		999	999: Erase	Device Totals# Device List# Batch Update Add Related Device#
