Johan Sandoval a5c0a5210e Knowledge base: /docs/<title> permalinks, search, categories, count, better PDF
Articles get their own address (shareable, back/forward work); the list is
searchable by title and text, shows the article count, and is grouped into
Applications and Troubleshooting & Guides via a hidden category line set
from the editor. PDF export lays out at page width with page breaks, a title
block and page numbers; Print uses the browser's vector print. Inline code
is a pill that glows blue on hover, blockquotes no longer squeeze, and
GitHub-style [!NOTE] alerts render. [[Badge]] syntax inside code spans is
left alone.

# Using USMT Dash
USMT Dash tracks a Windows device-refresh project: which old (**source**) device is being replaced by which new (**destination**) device, and how far each migration has got.

## The Pages
| Page | What it's for |
|---|---|
| **Tracked Devices** | Register devices under a *tag* (your name, a date batch, a department...). The worker only watches tagged devices. |
| **My Workbench** | Personal stacks: paste the devices on your cart and see just those. Saved in your browser. |
| **USMT Status** | Every tracked migration, grouped by status, with ping, free space and USMT log lines. |
| **All Devices** | Compares source and destination software and lists *specialty* apps missing from the new device. |
| **Custom View** | Build your own table: add, remove, resize, drag and filter any column. |
| **Documentation** | This knowledge base. Articles named after an app are linked from that app in the software view. |
## Migration Status
![Migration lifecycle](images/Migration%20Lifecycle.png)
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Not Started | Association exists, no backup yet |
| Backup In Progress | Scanstate log on the source is actively being written |
| Backup Completed | Backup finished, waiting for the new device |
| Restore In Progress | Loadstate log on the destination is active |
| Completed | Restore finished successfully |
| Not Associated | No computer association in ConfigMgr |
| Skipped | The device's tag has **Skip USMT** ticked (inventory only) |
## Tips
- Pair devices manually with `SOURCE, DESTINATION` on one line when there's no ConfigMgr association.
- Click any device name for full details: location, users, hardware, AD groups.
- **Copy Location Info** builds a ready-to-paste table for facilities or asset tickets.
- In articles, `[[Copy:text]]` creates a click-to-copy link, and `[[Yellow:Label]]` adds a badge.
