# 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* Lifecycle control: track “In service,” “Reserved,” “Outdated,” “Stolen,” etc.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).
