Gopher for Chrome

• Previously Gopher for Chrome allowed for 5 million cells.

  • Gopher for Chrome now allows for the maximum 10 million cells in a sheet

  • See Include/exclude and show/hide device data in columns

• A notable change has been introduced regarding the arrangement of telemetry data, when including device telemetry data within the Gopher for Chrome Add-on.

  • Previously, Telemetry columns were positioned at the end of the sheet. With this release, the telemetry columns have relocated to be after the Hardware Details column group but before the Calculated Values column group. 
    

  • See Load devices overview
• Previously, when loading from a list of asset IDs, the IDs were re-ordered to numeric order if the asset ID’s where numeric. With this release, the order of list of asset ID’s will be respected in terms of the order in which devices are imported into the spreadsheet.

• Previously, when loading from a list of asset IDs and with Exact Match toggled ON, was not working properly. In this release, the issue is fixed, asset ID search with Exact match will work properly.

Gopher Buddy

• Users navigating to the Gopher Buddy login page were redirected to the Gopher for Chrome login page. This has been corrected. Users can navigate to https://gopherforchrome.app/welcome-to-gopher-buddy without being redirected.

• Added ability to change the device status from the web app, Basic info tab.
  Gopher for Chrome > Utilities > Access Web App > Device search > [search and view device] > Basic Info ~ Edit device icon

  • Device current status appears at the top of the popup.

  • If the device's current status is Active, the field drop-down lets you change the status to Disable or Deprovision.
    

  • When Deprovisioning a device, select a deprovision reason and click OK.

  • Click Proceed at the prompt to agree to the change.
