Quick Find and Update

The quick find and update feature makes looking up and updating a single device easy. This feature can be helpful when working through a stack of devices, during device distribution to students in a 1-to-1 program, or when inventorying a Chromebook cart.

You can navigate to this feature in two ways:

  1. From the Utilities tab 
    Gopher for Chrome interface showing Quick Find and Update from the Utilities tab
    OR
  2. From the Extensions menu

We recommend clearing the Devices tab at the beginning of a batch of single-device updates to keep track of all updates performed.

  1. Using the Search by drop-down, select how to search for a device; Serial Number, Annotated Asset ID, or Annotated User.Quick Find and Update interface showing find options

  4. To change status, click the Pencil icon, select from the Change device status to field, and then click Set New Status. The new status pushes to Google immediately.
