Enhancement
Scheduler
The Task Scheduler running automatic inventory has been rewritten using JobScheduler.
This allows Android to determine the optimal timing for executing the automatic inventory within the defined time interval (day, week, month), while adhering to Android’s recommendations regarding battery usage, mobile network access, etc.
Notification
The notifications engine has been rewritten to comply with Android.
From Android 13 onwards, you will be asked to authorize notifications on first startup.
(You can revert to this configuration in the notification settings of your Android device).
Permissions
The permission process has been rewritten for better compatibility with the latest version of Android.
Don’t forget!
The GLPI agent can be deployed / configured from an MDM / EMM tool such as
Samsung Knox
AirWatch
InTunes
MobileIron
etc.
As long as the MDM / EMM tool is compatible with managed configurations, you can configure the GLPI Agent (at deployment or on the fly).
Compatibility
Android
EMM / MDM compatibility implies a change in the minimum Android version supported by the android app.
From now on, you’ll need a device running at least Android 5Lollipop (Sdk 21), and the agent is compatible up to Android 14Upside Down Cake (Sdk 34).
In the dynamic world of IT asset management, maintaining accurate and efficient control over asset allocation is crucial. GLPI, an open-source IT Asset Management system, provides a powerful and comprehensive solution to manage a vast array of assets. From hardware to software inventories to networking equipment.
When looking for efficiency, an effortless and reliable asset management process is crucial for maintaining operational data up-to date, laying the foundation for strategic planning.
The Challenge of Manual Asset Transfers
Manual asset transfers and update are one of the most faced challenges within an organization that starts the CMDB processes. The process, inherently prone to human error, can lead to inaccuracies in data, misallocations, and administrative overhead. It means costs and less perception of value to the company. Not to mention the time consumed from the people responsible to assure the inventory is correctly updated.
Automating Asset Transfers with GLPI
Automating asset transfer in GLPI not only saves time but also ensures a more efficient and error-free management process. By leveraging business rules, you can ensure that computers, software licenses, and monitors are always optimally allocated, improving overall productivity and resource utilization.
Benefits and Best Practices for Automated Asset Management

Name – beginning, ending
IP – ranges, or fixed ones
