IntroductionThe Inventory Viewer provides an interface to organise discovered devices and categorize them as Managed / Un-Managed Devices, as well as removing them. Once marked as Managed, a device subscription is consumed for a minimum of 30 days, after which this or any other Un-managed device will be able to re-use it. Inventory details and the execution of IT Automation jobs are only available for Managed Devices. Lists are a great way to organise and maintain managed devices within the viewer and provide a mechanism for IT Automation Job deployment to multiple targets. |
