PC Inventory Advisor 3.2 – more than expected.
After almost half a year without major upgrades, the whole ClearApps team welcome our valued clients and visitors with a new version of PC Inventory Advisor, our premium network inventory solution for small, medium and large networks. One of the key features that we invested most of our time in when preparing this release was stability and control.
Most of the features which we added were requested directly or inspired by you. And we truly hope you’ll love the new update, and send in even more usage scenarios so we can adapt PC Inventory Advisor to your IT environments and client networks. If you are interested in our future roadmap or have other questions, please, feel free to contact us any time.
What’s hot in PC Inventory Advisor 3.2?
First of all we concentrated on the following top new features:
#1 Tabular reports
Flexible Network Inventory: Custom Tabular Reports
Now you can easily select which data fields you are interested in, and compile your own network inventory reports adding target nodes dynamically. So, with tabular reporting, you will get a flexible dataset collected from the nodes of your interest. It works like the following: first, you select the nodes you would like to see on the list; secondly, you build a list of parameters you are interested in, you can choose among more than 40 software, hardware and other inventory data fields; sort the list; and go!
Pre-defined reports are still in place for fast 1-click inventory reporting. Probably, one of the next updates will feature creating your own pre-defined reports for future references and automation needs.
You probably noticed the new office address, and phone number, please, update your records accordingly, so we still stay in touch and provide only the highest level of services.
#2 Licenses compliance audit
Since version 3.2 ‘All software’ tab in your network summary is also your single place to keep tabs on all the software installed in your network and also monitor the number of licenses you have for each title.
PC Inventory: Software Licenses Compliance Audit
PC Inventory Advisor will automatically calculate licenses shortage or notify you when if not all licenses are used. Additionally we added sorting to this list, so whenever you get the new network summary with PC Inventory Advisor, it’s more convenient and much easier to analyze software usage in your network.
#3
Among the rest of new features, I would like to highlight the fact that we fixed more than 100 glitches in reporting and inventory modules, invested hundreds of hours in core stability and also concentrated on the following:
* sorting of reports on network software and tabular reports
* improved CSV export
* resizable scanning dialog
* new pre-defined report Inventory by brand
* highlighting the nodes with new reports available
* new export format selection
* better detection of currently logged on users
* separated scanning for domain users, so you no longer see hundreds of users in your asset report
* enhanced troubleshooting
* RMB-menu in reports
* enhanced pre-configuration window
* support of Macs in custom and pre-defined reports
* categorization of reports on Windows assets, so you can select which data should be collected, and which can be omitted
* refreshed Reports tab and intro
* your top feature requests
