WPI employs Asset Management to track equipment owned by or provisioned by WPI Information Technology. My Dashboard displays the assets where you are recorded as the primary user.

The Assets section provides you with information on the WPI provisioned devices assigned to you

Device Information

Overview

The Overview shows the following information:

  • Asset Tag: Unique identifier for IT Staff
  • Primary User: The individual WPI Identifies as the "Owner" of the device
  • Primary Use: The type of machine WPI identifies the device as

Device Details

This information gives you device and manufacturing information regarding the device. 

Timing - Laptop or Computer

Timing shows the age of the device as determined by the device's Ship Date (when the device left the manufacturer). IT uses the age of the device in determining replacement cycle.

Network Information - Laptop or Computer

This information is most valuable when working with IT Staff members. Many times, IT Staff will ask the hostname of the machine you are asking about. If you are having a networking issue, the MAC Address is also very useful to share with us!
