Device Column - Chassis Type / Form Factor

We have different rates for computer management based on laptop vs desktop, as we found we have to put more effort into maintaining laptops as they're most often in a backpack after-hours. It's also helpful information for our techs to know if a computer is a desktop vs. laptop as part of their support duties. Would like to request either adding a Chassis Type (or Form Factor) field in the GUI and API, or enhancing the existing Type field so that a Workstation is distinguished between a desktop and a laptop. Possibly the following WMI class would get the necessary information from the machine, for Windows. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/cimwin32prov/win32-systemenclosure

A work around until we can add this as a device column would be to create an automation that would auto tag current and future devices with "Laptop 💻" or "Desktop 🖥️". If you'd like some help setting this up let us know!

Thanks for the reply - we actually had this same idea in mind just didn't get to trying it quite yet. Hoping it is straightforward but if not we'll reach out!
