PC Inventory Advisor 3.2.791 is available now. As some of you may have noticed, we are putting a lot of effort into scanning quality now, so your network inventory experience is the smoothest and most reliable ever. With this new update, actually there was an intermediary one (build 3.2.743), we introduced several “big” features and a long list of minor improvements which polish the scanning process and guarantee much better experience collecting your network details.

New in 3.2.791:

Multiple Network Logins

PC Inventory Advisor - Multiple logins configuration

We got so many requests for this feature, that we couldn’t miss it. Now you can easily specify specific logins for groups and individual nodes, so there’s no need to split scanning process into several stages to get all your network assets inventoried.

Customizable alerts

Now you can tune several parameters in network alerts collected by PC Inventory Advisor.

Windows Automatic Updates status

Windows Automatic Updates in the reports

Whenever you scan a Windows node now, you will get all the details on Windows Updates status, detection, download and installation date and time, as well as corresponding alerts in your network or node summary.

Remote desktop connection

Remote Desktop Connection in PC Inventory Advisor

Now you can easily connect to any node remotely via RDP, simply right-click the node in the tree, and select the corresponding option. Windows Remote Desktop will be launched and connection will be established, wait for more RDP software solutions to be supported in the nearest future.

Better detection of logged on users

Currently active user in a node's report

We also spent quite some time on polishing the detection mechanisms of currently logged on users on workgroup and domain nodes. You will now find the new User Account field in every node’s factsheet, as well as correctly listed logged on user in tabular reports. Direct domain nodes scanning via WMI is also improved.

Fast & Stable Scanning

Now you can achieve much better scanning results by configuring connection and scanning methods utilized by PC Inventory Advisor with the help of new options in Settings: Connection and Performance.

First GUI localizations

We now speak your language! Among the first localizations which we added into build 3.2.791 you will find German, French, Chinese, Japanese & Russian. More languages are coming soon.

Also:

• Nodes that were not scanned for some reason (access denied, etc) may not be added to the network tree, optionally
• The option to show only logged on domain user accounts
• Network summary compilation is 20 times faster now
• Much better support for 2000+ nodes networks
• Custom and pre-defined reports generation on Macs
• Export into different databases is completely separated now
• Nodes counters for groups
• …and more than 50 other enhancements and improvements in total

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

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 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
