New Features

The following new features have been added to this Release:

Agent Install Link now includes defined customer

Previously, when sending a link to the end client to install an agent on their workstation, there was no way to define what customer the Agent belonged to. The choice was either to talk the client through defining the customer on his end or for the Agent to end up in an Undefined Customer category and then for the technician to manually assign a customer.

Now, downloading the shareable agent installer link directly from the Customer ensures that the Agent is associated with the customer from the get go, thereby providing a far superior set-up experience for both you and your clients. The new link can be found under the specific Customer.

New MSI Agent Installer

Using the new MSI Agent Installer, you can install agents through the CMD in silent mode. This allows for a smoother agent installation for our customers who prefer a non UI approach. The new MSI Installer allows you to specify customer name. You can also install multiple agents in a domain environment using the MSI Installer. 

The Setup.msi file is downloaded from the Atera Portal and then run in the Command Prompt. 

An example of the Installer command for a specific customer will look like this:

msiexec /I Setup.msi /qn INTEGRATORLOGIN='xxx@yyy.zzz' COMPANYID='22'

Feedback dialog box added when running Scripts 

Previously, when a technician ran a script on a device requesting feedback, there was no response whatsoever from the Atera Portal. Now, a user friendly dialog box has been added. Note that if the results are not shown within the time frame, it is recommended to do the following:

Navigate to Admin > Patch Management and IT Automation. Create a new profile and attach the script. Click Execute Now and wait a few minutes. Then go to Reports > Patch and Automation Feedback Report. Select the new profile and click Generate.

New Block Contract Usage Report

This new Report provides detailed information on both Block Hours and Block Money contract types. The information includes all tickets connected to the Block contracts plus how much time/money is remaining.

Language Support added to Atera Portal

The Atera Portal now supports Thai. 

Atera QuickBooks Support Enhanced

In order for QuickBooks accounting users to send accurate invoices, the Product Labels from Atera can now be imported into Quickbooks by clicking on the appropriate checkbox. This checkbox is located in Admin > Settings > Billing.
