# Equipment Equipment is your device inventory—laptops, phones, peripherals, and anything else you assign to people. **Why it matters** * Faster support: link a device to a request to see model, OS, serial number, last check‑in, and owner. * Lifecycle control: track “In service,” “Reserved,” “Outdated,” “Stolen,” etc. * Governance: keep a complete history of assignment and maintenance. **Types and fields** * Equipment types: define categories like Computer, Smartphone, Tablet, Screen, Other device. * Equipment fields: choose the attributes you track (e.g., Model, Serial number, Issue date, Lifecycle, Last maintenance date, Leasing info). Toggle visibility and add custom fields as needed. **Inventory and profiles** * List: filter by type, lifecycle, owner, office location, or last contact date. * Profile: view full details, ownership history, and related requests. Take actions via workflows (assign/reassign, lock/wipe when connected to your MDM). --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
