This topics describes the steps to follow in a scenario where a system device manager
receives a department request for one new device, or receives a device to replace one turned
in for repair or RMA, or has repaired a device that now needs to be returned to a department.
-
Remove a device from your stock.
-
Complete steps 1 to 5 in Beginning to Manage Devices.
-
Update fields in the Add/Edit Device dialog box:
-
In the Label field, enter the label information from
the physical label on the device. See Labeling Devices for recommendations on
how to label devices.
Note: Labels must be unique. If you want to use the same label as a device
that has been retired, you must change the Label
field for the retired device first. You can prepend the label of the retired
device with the string "RETIRED-" or "RET-".
-
Click the Select button to the right of the
Owner field to select the group who will own the
device. Generally, the owner of the device is a department group.
-
Click the Select button to the right of the
Site field to select the site where the device will
be located.
For instance, there could be a global group called Respiratory Therapists,
however the device being assigned will be physically accounted for at a
specific physical site, such as General Hospital. If your facility does not use
sites, keep the default value of Global.
-
In the Status field, select "Active" from the
drop-down list.
-
Check the Shared Device? box if the device will be
shared among a group of users rather than assigned to a specific person.
-
In the Notes field, enter today’s date, notes
indicating the device is being sent to the Group Device Manager and why, and
your initials.
-
Click Save.
