With Jamf + Phobio, it’s easy as 1-2-3.
Step 1: Export a list of computers and devices from Jamf.
Log into Jamf Pro, under Computers and/or Devices, select Search Inventory and click the “+ New” button to create an Advanced Search.

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.

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

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