# Chrome OS: FileWave Inventory Extension Capabilities

## **What**

An optional add-on for Chromebook management in FileWave is the FileWave Inventory extension. We'll describe what this add-on allows you to do in this article.

## **When/Why**

We'll want to make use of the inventory extension for any of the following functions:

- Additional Inventory Retrieval (Beyond what the Google Admin Console sends us): 
    - Application Information (installed app and extensions)
    - User Information (currently logged in user, etc)
    - Network Information (current IP)
    - Font Information
    - Device Storage data (drive space, etc)
    - Geo-location Information (location, but only if explicitly turned on)
    - Submit "Last Connected" time (which should not be confused with last sync time...Last Connected is the last time the device talked directly to the FileWave server)
- Ability to initiate an remote control session through TeamViewer (version 14.6+)
- To send a "Verify" to make the device check in immediately

## **How**

Reference the Quick Start Guide below for instructions on setting up the inventory extension for your Chromebooks.
