Add company-owned devices to the inventory

To add devices to the inventory, you import the serial numbers of devices in the Google Admin console.

1. Sign in with an administrator account to the Google Admin console.

   If you aren’t using an administrator account, you can’t access the Admin console.

2. Go to  Menu  Devices > Mobile and endpoints > Company-owned inventory.

   Requires having the Services and devices administrator privilege.

3. At the top, click Import company owned devices .
4. Select the type of device you want to import and click Download import template.
5. Enter a maximum of 100,000 entries per file, starting a new line for each device. (To add more devices, upload more than one file.)
   1. Open the template file.
   2. Enter the serial numbers and, optionally, asset tags of one or more devices. (Asset tags are strings that your company can use to track devices.)
      Example:
      Serial Number (mandatory),Asset Tag

      R84534UIF824-123-234,W123

      U83452BDU424-232-694,W442

      If you don't include asset tags, then format the file correctly by making one of the following edits:

      • In the file header, remove ,Asset Tag. (Be sure to remove the comma.)
      • Include a comma after each serial number.
6. Save the file.
7. Go back to the Admin console and click Upload File.
8. Select the CSV file with the device serial numbers and click Import. If the file has an error, an error message reports the type of problem.
   • To upload a corrected file, correct the errors then click Upload New File.
   • If the error applied only to some rows, you can still import the other rows. Click Continue. The values in the rows with errors aren't imported.
9. When the import completes, you get an email with a summary of the results. You can also download a log of the upload that lists the row number, values, and upload status.
