Updated over 3 weeks ago

The Device Information page in Trio offers a centralized and detailed view of any managed device in your organization—whether it's a laptop, desktop, tablet, or phone. This view is essential for IT administrators, security teams, and compliance officers who need real-time insight into device health, compliance, and operational details.


🖥️ What Is the Device Information Panel?

The Device Information panel is a dynamic dashboard that presents a comprehensive profile of an individual device. Each profile includes vital metadata, such as:

  • Device Model and Ownership

  • Operating System and Version

  • Enrollment and Supervision Status

  • Security Compliance Results

  • Network Configurations

  • App Update Needs and CVE Findings

At the top of the panel, as shown in the example below:

You’ll see:

  • Device Name

  • Model (e.g., MacBook Pro M1)

  • Ownership Type (e.g., Company Owned or BYOD)

  • Supervised Status

  • Visual Tags for attributes like macOS, Refurbished, Repaired, Complied, etc.


Key Sections Explained

1. User Info

  • Displays the user currently assigned to the device.

  • Shows the user group and the Blueprint (policy configuration) applied.


2. Operating System

  • Lists the OS name, version, and build number.

  • Tracks update status and shows whether an update is available.

  • Shows the latest supported version and release/update dates.

3. Enrollment Details

  • Type and method of MDM enrollment (e.g., Manual, Auto).

  • Ownership status (BYOD or Company Owned).

  • Dates for first and last enrollment.

  • Supervision and DEP (Apple only) are also reflected here.

📌 Enrollment methods vary across platforms. iOS/iPadOS use APNs; Android may use Samsung Knox.


4. Hardware

  • Displays model name, processor info, RAM, and storage.

  • Lists serial numbers, UUIDs, and MAC/Bluetooth addresses.

  • Indicates battery health and status (where supported).

💡 Refurbished or repaired devices may include these tags in the header for easy identification.

  • Security Monitoring: Detect rooted/jailbroken or vulnerable devices.

  • Inventory Management: Track ownership, model, and hardware usage.

  • Network Control: Review Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and VPN usage per device.

  • App Governance: Identify devices with outdated or risky applications.


Navigating Between Devices

From the Devices tab:

  1. Click on any listed device.

  2. Access tabs like Details, Security, Users, Profiles, Applications, Alerts, etc., for deeper exploration.

  3. Use the Actions button to perform remote operations such as wipe, lock, or remove.


Final Notes

The Device Information panel is uniform in structure, yet adaptive in depth based on OS platform and enrollment type. Whether you're managing a refurbished macOS laptop or a fully supervised iPad Pro, you’ll have full visibility and control at your fingertips.
