@DanSheps commented on GitHub (Jan 18, 2022):

There are couple possible scenarios here:

  1. Display the Device Type & the Asset Tag
  2. Display the Asset Tag
  3. Display only the Device Type

How do we want to tackle this?

My vote would go to # 1 ("Display the Device Type & the Asset Tag") with perhaps fallback to Serial Number if Asset Tag is also blank.
