Actions

An action is an event performed on a device to register a state change.

There are three types of states depending on whether they refer to their life cycle, assignment to users, or operation.

  1. Lifecycle state actions record a managed, used, refurbished, or recycled state.
  2. Allocate actions record status of being assigned or unassigned to a user making use of the device.
  3. Functional or physical state actions record a pre-refurbished, post-refurbished, data wiped, under repair, or repaired state

To learn how to perform actions on devices see the following tutorials:

Placeholders

Placeholders are a type of device whose metadata has been entered into the system without software verification. The usefulness of the Placeholders is to be able to register any type of device without having to create a Snapshot.

For more information see how:

Snapshots

A Snapshot is a type of device whose metadata has been entered into the system from secure software. We say that this metadata is reliable because its data source comes from the software and it has not been possible to modify it manually. All the metadata of a device is grouped in a file with a JSON extension that has been created by the Usody Snapshots software.
