This section will provide examples of how to use the toptools console to:
•

Locating Personal Computers

In this example your company must return 275 leased PCs. You need a report that lists all personal computers with
serial numbers and hardware locations. To generate a personal computer inventory report, follow these steps:
1. In the toptools navigation panel, click the Inventory button and select PC Asset Location.
2. Toptools generates the PC Asset Location report. To print this report from the browser, right-click on the report
and select print from the popup menu. For best results, print the selected frame in landscape layout.
