14.1.1 Checking the number of owned devices (Device Totals)
By using managed items, 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 each type of device and the number of devices that are to be replaced for each group or location. For example, Status can be used as the point of (filter for) totals to check the number of devices that are active or in stock for each status. Reg. date can also be used as a point of totals to check the number of installed devices.
To total the number of owned devices, start from the Device Totals window, which is displayed by clicking the Device Totals job menu. The following figure shows the Device Totals window.
