# Chrome OS: FileWave Inventory Extension Capabilities

## **What**

The optional FileWave Chromebook Inventory extension collects data and provides actions beyond the standard Google Admin console synchronization. This article lists those capabilities; the related behavior FAQ explains when and how the extension reports.

## **When/Why**

Use the Inventory extension for these additional inventory fields and actions:

- Additional inventory beyond the Google Admin console data: 
    - Installed apps and extensions
    - The currently signed-in user
    - Network information, including the current IP address
    - Installed fonts
    - Device storage and available drive space
    - Geolocation, only when an administrator explicitly enables it
    - **Last Connected**, which records the last time the device communicated directly with the FileWave server and is different from the Google synchronization time
- Start a TeamViewer remote support session.
- Send **Verify** to request an immediate extension check-in.

## **How**

Use the [Quick Start Guide for Chromebooks](https://kb.filewave.com/link/96) to install and configure the extension. For reporting schedules, offline behavior, and the difference between Last Connected and Last Sync, see the [FileWave Inventory Extension Behavior FAQ](https://kb.filewave.com/link/34).
