Drag-n-drop from Windows Explorer
You can now drag inventory files along with folder structure right into the network tree.
Fit columns in printable table reports
Whenever you build a table report that’s just a little bit too wide for the page, choose Fit columns from the scale menu. The table will be shrunk down to be the exact same width as the currently selected page format.
We want to wish all you IT guys and IT ladies out there to be loved and cared for!
We’ve got a lot of plans for this year. For now, enjoy your updated TNI, and we’ll see you next time.
TNI 2.0.4 (1205): The Holiday update
Hi everyone!
We’ve been working on new features, fixing bugs and polishing user experience for quite some time now. And we figured we’d release a fancy something at the end of the year. 
Added:
- Manufacturer names and MAC addresses are displayed during the network scan.
Improved:
- Many interface improvements.
- The online status monitor now updates dynamic IPs.
- Scan tasks are matched to assets considering MAC address (if available).
- Destination folder cannot be changed for existing assets during rescan.
- “Skip existing assets” option does not skip non-scanned assets anymore.
Fixed:
- Some issues with detection of the license limitation exceeding.
- Issues with erroneous merging of some assets.
- Some errors in the Linux agent.
Manufacturer names in scanner tasks
This feature’s coolness is difficult to overestimate. You get this as soon as you type the range into Quick Add and expand it. All these devices were never scanned, but you can already tell which of them is a network device, a Mac or a virtual machine. Manufacturer name sure indicates a lot, doesn’t it?
Also check out the Scanner options page. From there you can change the way manufacturers and MAC-addresses are displayed.
Worth a note: the feature only works if ARP ping is enabled in Options (which is true by default) and only for targets from the current subnet.
Best wishes to you from the Softinventive Lab team. May you have an unforgettable holiday season!
We’ll meet again in the year 2012.
