Computer Inventory - Status Fields

Information about the Status and Status Date fields included in annual computer inventory reports.
  • Active: The computer is visible in Technical Support management applications. The date for this status indicates the most recent check-in time at the time of the report.
  • In Storage: The computer is currently in storage in the location indicated by Room and Bldg.
  • Not Reporting: As far as we know, the computer is still in use but is not visible in TS management applications.
  • Lost: The computer was never turned in for SWAP and is either no longer in use or in use but not recoverable. TS will work with units to attempt recovery prior to declaring a device lost.
  • Transferred: Ownership of the computer has been transferred to another entity. This could be another UW department or, in rare cases, another institution or an individual.
  • SWAP Prep: The computer has been prepared for SWAP by TS but not yet picked up. This status is solely for internal TS tracking; departments may consider it equivalent to SWAP.
  • SWAP: The computer has been picked up for SWAP.
