Search computers quickly and open the authoritative Jamf record.
Device Lookup is a computer-first operational search surface. It keeps supported identifiers narrow, ranks exact matches first, leaves ambiguous matches visible, and loads the full device detail only after selection.
Supported search identifiers
- Exact serial number matches rank first.
- Exact Jamf computer name matches rank next.
- Exact username matches rank after that.
- Prefix and contains matches are shown lower in the result list.
Search is intentionally narrow
Result ranking and ambiguity
If more than one device matches the query, Veridominus keeps the candidate list visible instead of picking one silently. This helps administrators verify the right record before opening the full detail or sending a command.
What the detail panel shows
- Identity: name, serial number, model, and operating system version
- Ownership and user context: Jamf username, real name, department, building, and room where available
- Enrollment and management state: ABM / DEP indicator, user-approved MDM, and enrollment date where Jamf returns it
- Freshness: last check-in and explicit current, stale, or unknown state messaging
- Operational detail: purchasing and warranty fields, policy history, LAPS where allowed, and device activity when loaded
The detail panel reflects the current Jamf record returned by the app’s supported device detail fetch. It is authoritative for what Jamf returned at that moment. It is not a live device-side status feed.
Available MDM commands
| Command | Operational meaning |
|---|---|
| Update Inventory | Requests a full hardware and software inventory update from the device. |
| Blank Push | Sends a silent MDM push to verify the channel is active. |
| Restart | Requests an immediate device restart. |
| Shut Down | Requests an immediate shutdown. |
| Lock Device | Locks the device with a PIN. |
| Erase Device | Permanently erases the device. This is destructive and confirmation-gated. |
Execution certainty
Freshness and unavailable data
Device Lookup does not present stale inventory as current. Freshness banners and unknown states remain visible in the detail panel, and permission or session failures should surface as errors instead of silently reusing stale data.
