Viewing Devices on Computers

The Devices on Computers tab provides a table of individual devices that have been connected to individual computers.

The relationship between one device and one computer counts as a single “attachment” in the table, regardless of how many times the two have been connected and disconnected. If you are concerned about the use of removable devices on a particular computer, the Devices on Computers page provides a way to find out if any such connections exist. You can approve and ban individual devices from this table.

View All Attachments Between a Specific Device and a Specific Computer

Use this procedure to view all attachments between a specific device and a specific computer.

Procedure

1. On the console menu, choose Assets > Devices. The Devices page appears.
2. Click on the Devices on Computers tab. The Devices on Computers page shows each pairing of a device instance (unique serial number) and a specific computer.

   See Table: Device Details (unique serial number) and Device Attachment Details for a description of the columns that can be displayed in this table.

   The Action menu in the Devices on Computers table instances acts on checked table rows. It includes the following commands:

   • Globally Approve
   • Globally Ban
   • Remove Approval or Ban
   • Acknowledge

   The approval and ban commands on both the Devices on Computers table and the Device Catalog for instances affect the instance, as defined by serial number, in the checked rows. You are not approving or banning a particular attachment. See Approving or Banning Device Instances for more details.

   You can use the Acknowledge command to indicate that you have reviewed a particular device instance and perhaps taken any action you intend to take on its status. You can then sort or filter the table so that device models you have not yet acknowledged are more visible.
