Viewing and Reporting on Personal Devices in Inventory
After enrolling personal devices using the instructions in this guide, you can use advanced mobile device searches to identify personal devices enrolled in your environment and view a subset of basic inventory information for a device.
When you create and save an advanced mobile device search, the results of the search are updated each time devices contact the JSS. This allows you to view up-to-date information on the devices in your organization at any time.
Note: For information on the inventory information that you can view and edit for a personal device, see Viewing and Editing Inventory Information for a Mobile Device in the Casper Suite Administrator’s Guide.
