Warehouses
Warehouses are virtual repositories which can be used for hardware tracking in many ways:
- Your new or spare mobile devices.
- Broken or returned hardware which will go to recycling.
- Hardware which can be re-used.
- Available software licenses.
To open the Warehouses section, click Configuration > Administration > Warehouses.
Example of the Warehouses page. Click to enlarge.
Note: You can update and reorder the columns of your Warehouse grid in Configuration Management > Modify grid columns.
The Warehouses section provides a list of warehouses in Cimpl's database. In Cimpl, a "warehouse" usually refers to a person in an organization who officially manages the store of extra devices, rather than a building.
Tip: If your organization has different people managing assets, they can create their own warehouses in Cimpl. When someone is looking for X asset, they are able to see in any warehouse which has the "can remove" activated, and coordinate the use of that particular asset. Assets can also be transferred from one warehouse to another.
It is recommended to conduct an audit of your virtual warehouses vs actual equipment twice a year in order to limit the chance of devices SIM cards being stolen.

Cimpl has added a Default Warehouse to support other inventory and warehouse features. The warehouse is designed to collect and store items removed from inventory during a Bulk Edit. For more, see Default Warehouse.
