The system creates an asset record for each imported computer. On the data screen of these assets, the Devices tab is available. This tab displays all the computer's data inputted in the import file, with accurate details organized in organic tables.
Data is separated by import date, which allows for comparing it with previous imports, thus helping the team responsible for the organization's computers with the management process.
This article will illustrate the management of one of the computers imported in the previous flow step.
