Read hardware, security, network, warranty, and integration information without confusing missing data with a healthy device.
Select a device’s Name in Devices to open its details. Overview shows the information currently available for that record. Available sections depend on the connected tools and the data they have supplied.
For Company users and MSP staff with access to the device. Provider portal and remote-access shortcuts are hidden from Company users. An MSP screenshot can include additional controls that your account does not have.
Confirm the device name and company in the panel header. A friendly display name may also show the underlying device name.
Review the reported dates, including Last Seen in the inventory and any timestamps shown in the panel.
Check the relevant fields below. A dash or absent section means the value is unavailable; it is not a successful health check.

Additional fields configured and made visible to your account
A protection badge or recent inventory entry does not by itself establish that every security control is healthy. Use the relevant reported evidence and ask your provider about missing or unexpected values.
Reported IP Address and External IP serve different purposes. The former may be an internal network address. IP location uses the integration-reported external IP to estimate the internet exit point.
IP observed describes when the external address was recorded.
Last checked describes when that address was looked up for location.
Find approximate location runs the available lookup; it can contact the configured location service.
Open map opens the approximate coordinates on an external map.
If no external IP is reported, the IP location section is hidden. Typing an internal address into a device record does not supply a verified external location.
This Demo device has no Software tab or IP location section because those details are unavailable.
The result is approximate, not GPS tracking or a street address. A VPN, shared office connection, or internet provider can make several devices appear in the same place. See find an approximate IP location and understand location results.
Cork or Liongard, when the device has corresponding integration data.
IT Glue, when the portal has an active integration and this device has an IT Glue mapping.
Software, for MSP staff with device-read access when software inventory is enabled and installed inventory has been confirmed for this device. Review installed versions and lifecycle warnings. Urgent and High update priorities appear only when the separate Software assessments flag is enabled; see Software inventory.
Edit, when your account has device-management permission.
These tabs have separate purposes. A missing integration tab is not a finding that the device is unprotected or undocumented in every system. Ask the MSP to check integration availability, mapping, synchronization, and your access.
Supported device resync controls sit beside the close button. Software inventory is available to MSP staff when enabled for the tenant.
Device software with the resync action beside the close button.
MSP staff may also see Portal, Remote, or provider-named shortcuts in the header. These open another service and can require separate access. They do not grant Company users remote control.
These screenshots show the MSP staff view using Demo inventory; Company users do not receive the Software tab.
With software inventory enabled and device-read access, Software appears after installed inventory is confirmed for this device. It stays hidden while that first read is pending, when the read fails, or when the device has no installed inventory. Missing software data is not proof that the device has no applications installed.Select Software to review application names, versions, publishers, and the available lifecycle status. Use Search software or Needs attention only to narrow the list. A search with no matches keeps the tab and filters available, so you can clear the filter and continue.If the inventory disappears while you are viewing Software, the panel returns to Overview. When inventory becomes available again, Overview stays selected until you select Software yourself.
Give your IT provider the device name, company, the field that appears wrong, and the reported date. Explain whether you are reporting an inventory error or a problem using the device. Opening a detail panel does not create a support ticket.If a section fails to load, close and reopen the device after the inventory has loaded. Do not treat missing extended details as proof that the device has no hardware, security tools, or network connection.
Does opening the panel run a fresh scan of the device?
The panel primarily displays imported and cached information. Some MSP management views can refresh provider data, including an automatic refresh for supported ASIO devices. Opening the IP location section alone does not force a new location lookup. Check the reported timestamps.
Why are Hardware, Security, or Battery missing?
The connected source may not supply that information, or its details may not have loaded. Missing information is not a healthy or unhealthy result by itself.
Can I remotely control my computer from this page?
Company users do not receive the MSP provider or remote-access shortcuts. MSP staff may see external links when a connected source supplies them; those services have their own access requirements.
Why does the device name differ from the inventory name?
Some integrations supply a friendly display name. The panel can show that name together with the underlying device name so you can identify the same record.
Does a missing warranty date mean it expired?
No. It means no date is available in the record. Ask your provider to confirm coverage.
Which coverage does an automatic warranty check use?
The latest end date across all coverage the manufacturer lists for the serial number. For HP that includes the factory warranty, bundled warranty and Care Packs. A coverage whose start date equals its end date is a placeholder, not real coverage, so the device shows no warranty date until real dates are found.
Is IP location live GPS tracking?
No. It estimates the location of the internet exit point associated with a reported external IP. Check both observation and lookup dates.
Why is IT Glue missing for this device?
The tab requires an active IT Glue integration and an IT Glue mapping for this device. Ask the MSP to check the saved mapping and your access.
Does closing the Edit panel prove my changes were saved?
No. Check any error message, reopen the device, and verify the intended values. A closed panel alone is not confirmation of a successful update.
