# Equipment

Your device inventory: laptops, phones, peripherals, and anything else you assign. Link a device to a request to see model, serial number, and owner, and track its full lifecycle

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* Lifecycle control: track “In service,” “Reserved,” “Outdated,” “Stolen,” etc.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. Sort by any column, including equipment type, lifecycle, owner, serial number, model, office location, last report date, and last contact date. Sorting by last contact date surfaces devices that stopped reporting; sorting by owner groups everything one person holds.
* Profile: view full details, ownership history, and related requests. Take actions via workflows (assign/reassign, lock/wipe when connected to your MDM).

**Kept in sync with your MDM**

* **Office location:** if you're connected to Jamf, Microsoft Intune, Kandji, or JumpCloud, Siit maps office location from your MDM through the equipment field mapping, instead of leaving it blank for you to fill in by hand. On Jamf, Siit resolves the location from the buildings your integration already syncs.
* **Status follows the owner:** assign an owner to a spare device and Siit automatically moves its status to **In service** unless you changed the status yourself in that same edit. This keeps large fleets from listing devices as "spare" when someone is already carrying them.
