Devices

Device master data covers device manufacturers and device models. They are the basis for creating actual devices consistently (see Create Devices).

In the app you find this master data under Custom Inventory > Devices.

Device manufacturers

Device manufacturers are the companies that produce your devices. Each device model is assigned to exactly one manufacturer.

To create a manufacturer:

1. Open Custom Inventory > Devices
2. Add a new manufacturer under device manufacturers
3. Give it a unique name

Device models

A device model describes a specific device type from a device manufacturer. When creating an actual device, you select a model so that similar devices are captured consistently.

To create a model:

1. Open Custom Inventory > Devices
2. Add a new device model
3. Assign it to a device manufacturer and give it a name

Shared device master data

Device manufacturers and device models are among the master data that can be shared from a parent workspace. A machine manufacturer can define a model once, and all customer workspaces use the same definition. You can use shared entries, but cannot edit or delete them. See Master Data.
