14.1.2 Searching for devices (Device List)
By using the Device List job menu, you can search for specific devices among owned devices. For example, you can list devices for a particular purpose, such as to identify devices with an old registration date or devices whose performance is below a specified level. You can also change information about the listed devices.
To search for devices, start from the Device List window, which is displayed by clicking the Device List job menu. The following figure shows the Device List window.

In the Server Setup dialog box, you can set the device statuses that are available for the Status search condition. For details about how to configure this setting, see 7.3.4(18) Status to display in device search windows.
- Organization of this subsection
(1) Specifying search conditions for a particular purpose
In Device List, specify the necessary search conditions. The following are examples of specifying conditions for searching for owned devices.
-
Searching for devices to be replaced
To search for old devices or for devices whose performance is below a specific level, specify an item such as Reg. date, Processor speed, or Memory.
-
Searching for devices to be scheduled for maintenance
If you know the name of the device, specify Device name to search for it. If not all the device names are registered, also specify Device type for a more thorough search.
Be aware that IP address segments can be specified with two or fewer digits when both specifying an IP address for a search condition and searching for partial matches or beginning-of-word matches. For example, if 33.22.1 is specified for a search, the search is conducted in the range from 33.22.100.xxx to 33.22.199.xxx. Therefore, if you want to search for 33.22.1.xxx, enter a period (.) at the end, as in 33.22.1., or place zeros in front of the number, as in 33.22.001. For example, if you want to search for xxx.22.1.xxx, specify .22.1. or 022.001.
(2) Displaying device details
In the search results list, clicking a link under Asset No. displays the Device Details dialog box, which enables you to view and edit details about that device. For details about how to view and edit details about a device, see 14.6 Managing device details.
