I am trying to run a series of reports in Casper Inventory that sort the laptops in my deployment by last check in date, and anything that has not checked in to the JSS in over 4 weeks. The report works fine, but it fails to add in the user's short name or long name. I would really like this to work since I can just generate this report and hand it off to someone in administration and they can make sure these laptops are still here.
I know some students come to school and turn their airport connection off, on purpose, because they know that we use remote desktop and push out updates over the network. Other machines are off site at the repair center. However, I would love a way to audit everything off my notes and off of my records for repair.
I also have some machines that have not checked in for a whole year, now these machines I think had a major component replaced and/or the asset tag replaced and it is in inventory as a different machine.
Any way to make it so the short name and the full name show up in my reports? Right now the category is there in my report but the report shows a blank field.
Also, how are you all using advanced searches in inventory? I used to use smart groups, but too many smart groups hurts performance of the JSS database, so I switched what I cold over to advanced searches.
Thanks
Tom
