Communication Best Practices in Retail

Save and name this Advanced Search for future use or reference.

Then move on to the next tab…

Here is where we set the rules to define which devices should be included in Search Report.
For example, you can use attributes like model, management status, location, ownership or any other inventory criteria.

To add a criterion, click on the “+ Add” button and select the attribute, operator, and value for the rule.

The most common criteria (i.e. “Model”) are listed by default, so to select specific parameters such as device age by purchase date (i.e. “PO Date”), ownership, Activation Lock, Carrier Network, lease status, etc. you may need to select “Show Advanced Criteria.”

In this example, we’ll look for devices that were purchased over 600 days ago, so the rule would be

• criteria: PO Date
• operator: more than x days ago
• value: 600

You can add multiple criteria to narrow down the group using “All” or “Any” logic to determine whether all or any of the criteria must be met for a device to be included in the results. 

More information on setting criteria for Advanced Searches and Smart Lists is available here:  https://docs.jamf.com/10.31.0/jamf-pro/administrator-guide/Advanced_Computer_Searches.html

Now select the fields to display in the CSV export for each device so Phobio can assess its value. These should include at-minimum:

Under Device or Hardware:

• Capacity MB
• Model
• Model Number
• Serial Number

For mobile devices, under Network:

• Current Carrier Network
• IMEI

You may of course add any other fields which you feel may be useful for reference or for quoting device values.
