Viewing Inventory Details
Inventory management doesn't end with distribution of policies configured. The workflow is completed only when IT admins can perceive insights on their inventory. Endpoint Central's inventory management capability let's you gather information on the following:
- Hardware Details
- Computer Details
- System Details
