Update the Computers File
This screen let's you update the Computer Inventory data.
The first first field is an automatically generated ID number for each computer. You then select the user the computer has been Assigned to from the drop down list. After selecting a user, use the drop down lists to select the Location and Department fields. You can then enter an Asset ID Number and Serial Number (these fields should be unique). You can then enter the Device Name. Drop down lists are provided to let you quickly select the computer Manufacturer, Model and Operating System. An additional field, Operating System Version is provided to let you record the Service Pack level.
You can record the CPU type and Speed as well as the amount of installed RAM and Hard Disk size. You can then enter the CD Rom type, and BIOS Date. A drop down list lets you quickly select the Vendor of the computer. You can also enter the Purchase Type (purchase, lease, etc) and the Cost of the PC and the date it was acquired.
Fields are provided for recording the Purchase Order and Invoice Numbers, as well as whether or not the PC is Under Warranty and a Warranty ID and Expiration Date. The next fields let you record the type of Network Interface Card, the NIC and TCP/IP address (useful if static assignments are used) and the Hub and Port the computer is plugged in to.
You can also record support phone number and web sites, if desired, as well as the location of a hard disk "image" file if used. A free form notes field is also provided.
New in version 2.59 is a print button which will produce a report that looks like the screen you are updating, and includes some items about the software installed on that PC.
