We are excited to announce a new feature that addresses a key customer need: the ability to see all Auto Update Expiration (AUE) extensions, eligible devices, and relevant dates when importing devices. This enhancement empowers our customers to take timely action on their devices and efficiently monitor their fleet.
Key Updates
To enhance your device management experience, we have added three new columns to the Hardware Details section for Gopher for Chrome. These columns also appear in the Gopher for Chrome Web app:
- Extended Support Eligible: Indicates whether a device is eligible for extended support.
- Extended Support Start: Displays the start date of the extended support period for eligible devices.
- Extended Support Enabled: Shows whether the extended support has been enabled for the device.
Gopher for Chrome Sheet
Gopher for Chrome Web app
For the web app, you need to enable the new columns from the Columns panel.
With these additions, you can now easily track your devices' extended support status, ensuring you make informed decisions and maintain optimal device performance.
We are excited to announce the latest release of Gopher Buddy. Unlike previous updates, where differences were visible upon login, this new version requires a proactive step from your end. You must uninstall the current Gopher Buddy extension and install this latest update.
This change is due to our migration to Google's API, Manifest V3. By adopting this new method, we can better adapt to evolving technological landscapes and enhance the privacy and performance of our extension.
To facilitate this transition, we have prepared a guide outlining the steps to migrate to the latest version of Gopher for Gopher Buddy. You can access the guide by following this link to our Help Center: Updating to the newest version of Gopher Buddy.
What's the Same:
The software's core functionality remains unchanged. You can continue to rely on Gopher Buddy to deliver the same robust features and capabilities you've come to depend on. While we have implemented updates to streamline the application, such as colors and button names, these enhancements have been carefully designed to ensure a seamless user experience without altering the familiar functionality you know and trust.
What's Changed:
The transition from Manifest V2 to Manifest V3 signifies a fundamental shift in how our Google app operates behind the scenes. While these changes may not be directly perceptible in the user interface, they lay the foundation for future enhancements and innovations.
With this transition, our Gopher Buddy benefits from increased security measures, ensuring a safer browsing experience for our users. Additionally, Manifest V3 enables us to optimize our app's performance, leading to faster loading times and smoother user interactions.
Our dedicated support team is readily available to address any difficulties or inquiries you may have during the migration process. We're here to ensure a smooth and hassle-free transition for you.
We're thrilled to announce a quick fix for a sidebar display issue. In Gopher for Gmail, Gopher for Chrome, and Gopher for Users, the icons at the bottom of the sidebar were truncating the Help Center button. The sidebar is now back to normal, and the Help Center button is returned to full view.
Thank you for being so patient.
We're excited to introduce several enhancements to Device Search in the Web App, which will streamline your experience and provide more comprehensive information. Here's a breakdown of the latest changes:
Number of Rows Selector
Gopher for Chrome Web App > Search
Now, you can customize how many devices appear on your search results page. Use the new Number of Rows selector to choose your preferred display count. The default setting is 25 devices per page, but adjust it to suit your needs: 10, 25, 50, or 100 rows.

Annotated Location Column Returns

Refresh Cache Functionality
Gopher for Chrome Web App > Search
If you've enabled the Device Cache toggle in Device Search, you'll find a new Refresh Cache button above the toggle. This feature lets you update your cache instantly, providing you with the most up-to-date information.

Gopher for Chrome
This update addresses a bug where errors occur during device retrieval using the update from CSV option. When the serial number contained URI characters, the error message would either not display the serial number or encode special characters in the error message, preventing the display of the original string. With this fix, the error messages correctly reflect the original unencoded string containing the error. - When using the Update from CSV option, if the headers were in all caps, the data did not load, causing an undefined error. This behavior is corrected; devices now load when headers are in all caps.
Gopher for Chrome Web app
-
If a user attempted to log into Gopher for Chrome web application
without previously accessing the Gopher for Chrome add-on,

Unable to access Gopher for Chrome
Before you can access this site, a super admin from your domain needs to enable the device cache feature in the companion Google Sheet add-on. - If a user opened the device info tab from the Gopher for Chrome web application before a device was checked in and made it through dataflow, the device info pages showed blank fields. This release adds the following message at the top of the page: Device has not been checked in yet, please try again later.

The Manage Device Cache option on the Utilities menu of Gopher for Chrome is renamed to Access Web App. The name change conveys that you are accessing the web app more clearly.

The default for the Auto Update Expiry filter (AUE) is only
>18 months deselected. Typically > 18 months will be
the largest group and the farthest from AUE.
- The Device State filter includes All, Active, Delinquent, Pre Provisioned, Deprovisioned, Disabled, Inactive, Return Arrived, Return Requested, Shipped, and Unknown. The list of states you see in the filter depend on your fleet.

devices at the right of that criteria. This total
is static; it does not change as filters change.

data for cached devices at the top right of the page
are also static numbers; they do not change when
filters change.
