1. Create device types using the Device Types form. See Defining Device Types for more information.
2. Create devices using the Devices form. See Adding and Modifying Devices for more information.
3. Issue and return devices using the Device Allocation form. You can also view device usage and availability using the Current Device Usage form. SeeIssuing and Returning Devices and Viewing Device Usage and Availability for more information.

You can report devices as Lost, Found, Broken, and Fixed using the Devices form. See Reporting Devices as Lost, Found, Broken, and Fixed for more information.
