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.
The next view has 4 tabs: Search Criteria Display Reports
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
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.

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