An overview of the process is:

• Download a computer template.
• Add a custom field which indicates which computers you would like to archive or delete.
• Import the data (so that you now have a custom column which indicates which computers need to be archived deleted in bulk).
• Filter the list of computers on this new custom field (so you have a list of only those you want to archive or delete).
• Archive or Delete as required.

We can archive or delete computers in bulk by using the below steps:

• Open your Snow  License Manager (SLM) Web console.
• On the Home menu, select Import data.
• Select Import Templates.
• Select Update existing computer template and then select Download.
• Once the template has been downloaded, open it.
• Under the computer name field enter all the computers which need to be archived or deleted:

• In the template rename a custom field to any name (e.g. decommissioned) and enter any keyword below that field till the column in which you have entered the computer name (e.g. true). The aim of this step is to provide a field you can filter on to see which computers you wanted to archive delete.  Using our example we could later filter on decommissioned = true.

• Save the template.
• In your Snow Web Console, on the Home menu select Administration.
• Select Custom Fields.
• Select Add Custom Fields.
• Enter the required details for name please provide the exact name which you have renamed the custom field in the template (e.g. decommissioned).
• In the category select computers or mobile devices.
• In the Type select text
• Click Save to save the custom field.
• Navigate to Home - Import Data - Update the existing computers.
• Select the saved template.
• Click on next until you get to the screen where you must ensure that all the fields are mapped with their respective fields.

• Click on next until you complete all steps.
• The updated data will be imported.
• Select Search for Computers from the Computer tab.
• Drag and drop the custom field that you have created from the column selector (e.g. decommissioned).
• Enter the value which you have entered in the template (e.g. true).
• The computers which are mapped with that value will be shown and you are able to select all the computers.
  • Please verify this is the selection you are expecting before taking any action.
• Click on Edit Computers.
• You are now able to select the delete and archive option as required.
