# Venue Devices
The devices page serves as an inventory system for your venue's hardware. It allows you to view, add, and manage the equipment connected to your network, such as tills and kiosks.
This defines the device selection options upon initial log in. This also defines how each device is named across reports that are related to devices.
## Accessing Venue Devices
To manage the devices, go to the [**Admin Portal**](https://admin.gobossit.com/) then navigate to **Venue > Devices.**
## Adding a Venue Device
Click Add device and fill in the details:
* **Device Name** – Enter a name that staff can easily identify, such as Till 1 , Kiosk 1 or Pizza Station.
* **Serial Number** – Enter the device's unique serial number to identify the specific piece of hardware.(optional)
* **Active** – Enable this option to allow the device to connect to the system and process orders. If the device is inactive, it will not be able to operate.
Once saved, the device will be linked to your venue and available for use.
## Activating or Deactivating a Venue Device
Use the tick box in the **Active?** column to activate or deactivate venue devices.
## Deleting a Venue Device
Select the tick box next to one or more devices in the list, then click the **Delete** button at the top to remove them from your system.
{% hint style="danger" %}
We do not recommend deleting devices as this may affect historical data in reports linked to the device. **We recommend deactivating the device instead.**
{% endhint %}

## 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.bossithq.com/venue-devices.md?ask=&goal=
```
`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.
