When a user reports a lost device, you can set its status to <font color="#323232">Lost</font>. Setting this status does not have a functional effect on the phone. It just flags the phone as lost for tracking purposes and to ensure that it appears in the Lost Phones screen.

This feature is supported on macOS devices.

**Procedure&#xA0;**

1. Go to <font color="#323232">Device &amp; Users &gt; Devices</font>.
2. Select the check box for the device.
3. Select <font color="#323232">Actions &gt; Lost</font> from the <font color="#323232">Actions</font> menu.
4. In the displayed dialog, confirm the user and device information and enter a note.
5. Click <font color="#323232">Lost</font>.
   The entry for this device will appear with a status of “Lost.” Use the Found action to undo this status. See [Found](docId\:CM6D7J1-I20jqHipYn6b7)
