Assign a device to an employee
How to allocate a device to an employee in ZenAdmin, including bulk allocation and cancelling a scheduled allocation.
Allocating a device assigns it to an employee and kicks off shipping to their address. Only Unassigned devices can be allocated.
How do I allocate a device?
- Open Inventory Management → Inventory.
- Find the device and choose Allocate from its row menu (or open the device and use the Allocate button).
- Asset Allocation — confirm the asset and allocation details.
- Employee Address — pick the employee and confirm their delivery address. The employee must have an address on file; you can add one during this step.
- Review — check everything and submit.
The device status changes to In Transition while it ships, then Assigned.
How do I allocate many devices at once?
Select multiple devices in the inventory list with the checkboxes. When every selected device is Unassigned, a Bulk Allocate action appears and walks you through the same allocation and review steps for the whole batch.
Can I cancel an allocation?
Yes — while the allocation is still scheduled and hasn't shipped, the row menu and the device's detail page show Cancel allocation.
