The Inventory page displays information about the devices that Aranda Datasafe has discovered. This information includes details about each device, the amount of data discovered, and the protection status of each device.
Discovered Devices
The Discovered Devices pane provides a summary of the devices that have been discovered.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Total | The total number of devices that have been discovered (activated devices + compromised devices). Below the total number is the number of users. In the image above, Aranda Datasafe has discovered 47 devices and 27 users. |
| Assets | The number of discovered devices that have been activated. Devices that are activated are either being backed up and protected or are waiting to be backed up and protected. When you first wake a device, its status is set to On, but activation doesn’t start until the next backup is made. Below the activated number is the number of users who have activated their devices. |
| At Risk | The number of discovered devices that have not been activated and therefore are not protected or supported by Aranda Datasafe. |
| Available Licenses | The number of licenses that are currently in use and the total number of licenses that are available to you. |
Activated devices
The Activated Devices pane provides information about the devices that have been activated (configured to be backed up and protected).
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Assets | The total number of devices that have been activated and are currently backed up and protected by Aranda Datasafe. |
| Pending | The number of discovered devices that have been activated but are not yet backed up and protected by Aranda Datasafe. They will be activated when the protection agent is successfully authenticated. |
| Failed | The number of discovered devices that could not be activated. An activation may fail if the Protection Agent was not downloaded and installed or if the user is not authenticated with Active Directory. |
| Inactive | The number of discovered devices that have not connected to Aranda Datasafe in the last 30 days. |
Data Discovered
The Discovered Data dashboard provides a summary of the types of business data that Aranda Datasafe has encountered on your devices. By default, it displays files with a summary of file types and the amount of storage space required to back up.
If you click Locations, the dashboard provides a summary of the various places where the data is located on your devices. It also provides details of the storage space required to back up each location.
Teams sidebar
On the left side of the Inventory page is the Equipment sidebar. This displays a list of the devices that are configured in Aranda Datasafe (plus All Devices and Unassigned, which are integrated).
If you click a computer, the inventory panes and list are updated so that it only shows information for the devices on the selected computer. You can click All Devices to configure Inventory to display data for each device.

The bottom section of the Inventory displays the list of devices, which contains a summary of the devices that Aranda Datasafe has discovered.

| View | Displays the Device page, which contains details about the device, including its hardware and software. |

| Assign Team | Use it to assign the device to a team. Aranda Datasafe can only backup and protect devices that are assigned to computers, as computers must be associated with a repository and a policy. |

Device sidebar
If you click a device in the list of devices, the device’s sidebar appears. Displays additional information about the selected device. If you click on the View icon in the top corner, Aranda Datasafe displays the Device page, which contains a more detailed view of the device, including its hardware and software.
At the bottom of the device’s sidebar, there are icons to manually back up the device, revoke it, erase it, and use geolocation to discover it.
Multi-device actions
You can use the device list to apply a single action to multiple devices. For example, you can assign multiple devices to the same computer.
Use the check box to the left of each row of devices to select a device. When you select the check boxes, the action options appear at the bottom of the list. These work the same way as for individual devices, except that the action will apply to all the devices you selected.
