Searching Computers
Once you acquire computers, they can be viewed for inventory or reporting purposes. Since the JAMF
Software Server (JSS) is web-based, you can view your inventory from virtually any web browser on any
platform.

Performing Simple Computer Searches
A simple computer search functions like a search engine, allowing you to locate a general range of results
quickly and easily.
Simple searches can be performed based on the following attributes of a computer:
Computer name
Real name
MAC address
Email address
Bar code
Phone number
IP address
Asset tag
Position
Serial number
Department
•
Building
Username
•
Room
Note: Performing an empty search (with no criteria in the search field) returns all computers in your
database.
To perform a simple computer search:
1. Log in to the JSS with a web browser.
2. Click the Inventory tab.
The Computers link above the search field is selected by default.
3. Enter one or more search terms into the search field.
4. Click the Search Computers button, or press the Enter key.
