The following new features and improvements appear in this version:
Chocolatey Integration: We've made remote software installation easy with our newest API integration. Chocolatey enables a secure, efficient, silent, and complete installation in just a few clicks. No more manually figuring out system requirements, searching for latest versions, or multi-part downloads and installation wizards. It helps take the headache out of being a systems administrator.

QuickBooks: We've improved our QuickBooks integration with support for their 'Automated Sales Tax’ feature. If this is enabled, and you export an Atera billing batch to QuickBooks, any taxes you've set up in Atera will be overridden by QuickBooks.
Mac Optimizations: We’ve made a number of major improvements to the Mac agent, resulting in alerts that appear reliably and consistently, accurate retrieval and display of CPU, memory, and hard disk information. We’ve also fixed some big issues with IT automation and patch management on newer OS versions. We fully expect these changes to transform your experience supporting Mac users. Additionally, the OS build version has been added to the Agent Console.
Better Printer Monitoring: We’ve upped the ante on printer monitoring by automatically extracting carefully selected alerts from the alerts table of the Printer MIB, and displaying them alongside other alerts in Atera. Alert triggers include: paper jam, output selection failure, overheated marker fuser, failed marker fuser thermistor, empty toner cartridge, empty ink cartridge, empty print ribbon cartridge, empty printer developer, full waste toner box, full waste ink absorber, photo conductor (opc) end of life, missing toner cartridge. As on other alerts, tickets can easily be created or assigned to proactively handle issues. Learn more
Better Scripting Access: We’ve added access to the Shared Script Library from IT automation profiles and alert threshold items, enabling you to choose from over 130+ scripts for script automation and auto-healing scripting.
Ticket From Alert: Now you can create or assign tickets on alerts, from within the customer > Alerts tab, so you can quickly handle issues. Learn more
New Ticket: We’ve added a ‘New ticket’ button to the Tickets view, for easy ticket creation.
Customer Logo: We’ve simplified the process of updating your customer’s logo. Now just click on the logo to update the image.
Ticket Time Entries: We’ve added a 'Total' time entries field to tickets, so you can see the total time spent for all tickets combined.
