System dependencies
Complete the returns workflow
A product is only one part of the deployment. Confirm the supporting components and infrastructure before final model selection or installation.
Dependency links are planning paths, not automatic compatibility claims. Exact model/SKU, interfaces, loading, firmware/software and accessories must be verified for the final project.
Circulation
Self-service circulation
Coordinate returns with borrowing/self-service workflow.
