Run a Device Report

Sometimes, you may want to see all activity sessions and recent users for a specific device.  This may be valuable for forensic purposes, where device damage or malicious network behavior on a particular device needs to be investigated.

Device activity reports can be run by Serial Number or Asset ID.

User and session information from the Google Admin Console will only be available when Chrome device settings allow local data to be preserved.

To generate a device report:

1. Open a new Google Sheet.
2. In the top menu, go to Extensions > Gopher for Chrome > Launch Sidebar.
3. Once the sidebar loads, click Run reports.
4. Click Single Device.
   
5. Select how to identify the device: Serial Number or Asset ID.
6. Enter the device’s Serial Number or Asset ID.
7. Click Run.

Pro Tip: The Total Active Time column is pulled from the Admin console and represents total active usage, both off-campus and on-campus.

Basic Subscribers

This report shows a 60-day or 100-session history, whichever is reached first, of all users who have logged into that device, based on information stored in the Google Admin Console. Because user logins are ordered but not timestamped in Google’s available data, Recentness of Use is used to indicate how recently the user logged into the device. A 1 means that the user was the most recent to log in to the device.

Premium Subscribers  

You will be able to see 60 days or 100 sessions, whichever is reached first, from both the Google Admin console and the detailed session data provided from Gopher Buddy.
