Manage Chromebook device inventory from the Blocksi Admin Dashboard. Chromebook Inventory synchronizes from Google Admin Console to the Blocksi Admin Dashboard to facilitate ease of management for your district assets. Blocksi's Device Management feature provides inventory details including Serial Number, Model, current Organizational Unit, OS Version, User, Asset ID, and Device Status. You can take actions on selected devices to change OU, lock down a stolen device, disable, re-enable, and deprovision a device.
There may be times when Blocksi cannot locate devices that were recently added to the Google Admin Console. To ensure that Blocksi can see all devices, you must sync the devices with the admin console. Device Inventory regularly synchronizes with Google Admin Console.
