14.6.1 Viewing and changing device details (Device tab)

(1) Enabling operation management

You can specify whether the operation status of the device is to be managed. When operation management is enabled for a device, the device becomes subject to search operations from the Unused Device List job menu.

To enable operation management of a device, set Usage management to Used.

(2) Changing the group and location

You can change the group using the device and change the location where the device is being used. Values that are changed in the Device Details dialog box are not overwritten, even if they differ from the management information acquired from JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 - Manager.

However, you can use the Data maintenance task if you want the Device Details dialog box group and location settings to be overwritten with the group-specific and location-specific IP group values created by the IP Group job menu. For details about selecting the contents executed by the Data maintenance task, see 7.9.3(3) Changing the tasks to be executed.

(3) Changing the device status

You can change the status of a device.

If you change a device's status to Restore, Scrap, or Pre-Scrap, the device's IP address and installed software information are all deleted when the next time the Data maintenance task registered in Windows Task Scheduler is executed. The assigned license key is also released.

This also applies to devices whose status is similarly updated from windows.

By default, you can select from the statuses Stock, Active, Restore, Scrap, Pre-Scrap, and Erase. To change the name of a status or the device statuses that can be selected, see 16.8 Adding and changing types and statuses (Code).
