Modifying the lifecycle status of a device

Normally the lifecycle status is calculated and maintained automatically with the 5 predefined status values. If the predefined ones are not extensive enough or do not fit your requirements, it is possible to create your own lifecycle status values as explained in the Adding lifecycle status values topic. You can then assign these new custom status values as well to your devices or device groups.

To modify the lifecycle status of one or more devices you have two possibilities:

  • If you want to modify other values in addition to the lifecycle status you should proceed as explained in the Editing the financial information of a device topic.
  • If you only want to change this value you can do so directly as explained as follows:
  1. Select the device for which you want to modify the financial status in the right window pane and right-click.
    • You can select more than one device by holding the CTRL key pressed while making your selection.
    • You can select the devices under the Device Topology node or within a device group as well.
  2. Select the Lifecycle Status changefamstatus.pngoption from the appearing pop-up menu.
  3. Change the status value to the new status by selecting it from the list that appears.

You have now modified the status of one or more device that have advanced to another step in their lifecycle within your company.

Note:

Changing a status via this method automatically switches from automatic to manual mode, to make sure your selection is not overwritten during the next automatic update.
