Retired or Disposed Asset Inventory
Tip:This listing does not include any remote devices, which are not inventoried devices, but incomplete 'placeholder' devices created to track remote access such as through a Citrix Virtual Apps server. Remote device records are available by navigating to Inventory > Virtual Devices > Remote Devices. Similarly, virtual desktop templates are excluded here but are available through Inventory > Virtual Devices > Virtual Desktop Templates.
A helpful practice to discover inventory gaps is to look for the retired or disposed assets records with a recent inventory. For example, someone might have forgotten to change the status of an asset before bringing it into the network. The Last inventory date column will have a recent value for such records.
A device record may be transitioned between different inventory pages based on the following events:
| • | If the status of the linked asset changes to anything other than Retired or Disposed, the device record disappears from this page. |

Delete an inventory device |
See Deleting an Inventory Record. Note:Deleting a record updates the database immediately, as expected. However, instead of being deleted immediately, devices still required for those calculations are given an Archived status (and immediately moved to the Archived Inventory page). For more information, see About Deleting an Inventory Device. |
