Custom fields We’re extremely excited to announce custom fields, a powerful feature that allows you to create shared custom data points that cascade through your device groups down to individual devices. This functionality enables you to standardize and organize your device inventory effortlessly, ensuring that relevant information is consistently propagated throughout your IT environment. Easily streamline the way your data is managed and accessed, making your processes more efficient and transparent.
To provide greater control, custom fields come with security settings that allow only administrators to create, view, edit, or remove the data. This ensures sensitive information can be protected while still being shared across devices for consistency and operational clarity. With these capabilities, custom fields offer an adaptable and secure way to manage your device data, helping you maintain a well-structured and customized IT management system.
Variables Along with custom fields, we’re introducing variables—a powerful feature that adds flexibility and dynamic capabilities to your scripts and automations. Variables can pull data from custom fields to create context-aware workflows, but their use goes far beyond that. They’re available for use in scripts, the run script action, the shell action, and variable conditions, allowing you to input and reference dynamic data across your processes for real-time adjustments and enhanced precision.
Whether you’re leveraging variables to enrich scripts, automate tasks, or integrate with custom fields for tailored workflows, this feature enables you to build robust and adaptable solutions. The versatility of variables ensures smarter, more efficient operations with minimal manual intervention. Combined with custom fields, variables elevate your automations to new levels of customization and functionality, allowing your IT management to be more responsive and streamlined.
Run script automations With the overwhelmingly positive feedback we've received about automations and how it has improved your daily IT workflows, we are now transforming how you manage script execution by replacing traditional script runs and job queues. Running scripts is similar to before, but they now create one-time automations that include a manual-only trigger, a wait-for-approval action, and the script or shell action itself. These automations provide better control, traceability, and security, ensuring scripts are only executed with appropriate oversight and approval.
What’s more, script automations can be reused, adjusted, and saved, making them an invaluable tool for ongoing and future tasks. This flexibility means you can build a script automation once and leverage it multiple times, refining it as needed for different scenarios. By incorporating these reusable automations into your workflows, you achieve greater consistency, reduce the need for repeated manual work, and enhance operational efficiency across your IT environment.
Action status conditions Action status conditions are now available, offering greater control over your automation sequences. This feature lets you set conditions based on the status of previous actions, ensuring that subsequent steps in your automation only execute when specific criteria are met. With action status conditions, you can build more reliable, fail-safe workflows that adapt to real-time outcomes, improving the consistency and accuracy of your processes.
