Suspend or Remove Activity and Check In Device as Damaged

When removing or suspending an Activity for your client in SCRAM 24/7, you may flag a device as damaged by setting the “Check in previous [Device type] as Damaged?” option to Yes.

Tips
  • When scheduling the stop monitoring for a later date, you cannot flag a device as damaged.
  • Flagging a device as damaged on the Remove Equipment page does not automatically update its status to “In Inventory.” You must complete the check-in process.
  • When a device is flagged as damaged on the Replace Equipment page, it will automatically be updated to an “In Inventory” status.

Device Details Damage Notes

Once a device has been flagged as damaged, you may view the notes associated with the damaged device on the Device Details page in SCRAMNET.
