# Device management

Open device-focused reports from **Reports** → **Device management**.

### When to use this page

Use this page when you need report output for devices instead of audit events.

Use it to choose between custody tracking and general device report data.

### Available reports

This section includes:

* [Chain of Custody report](/verifone-central-device-management/verifone-central/reports/device-management/chain-of-custody-report.md) — track shipped devices and review custody records
* [Device report](/verifone-central-device-management/verifone-central/reports/device-management/device-report.md) — view device-level report details

### Choose the right report

Use **Chain of Custody report** when you need movement, custodian, or location history.

Use **Device report** when you need a broader device record view and a device export.

### Verify the result

After you open a report, confirm that:

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.verifone.com/verifone-central-device-management/verifone-central/reports/device-management.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
