Collect specific information of each item
In this task, you will collect specific information about each office item. This information may include details such as the item's brand, model, serial number, purchase date, warranty information, and any other relevant details. Gathering these details will provide a comprehensive overview of each item, facilitating easier tracking and management. Make sure to gather accurate and up-to-date information for each item.
