Lookups

  • Small lookups ask Apple for up to fifty devices at once, using Apple’s
    new serial number filter. With several organizations in scope, a device
    barely costs anything in an organization that doesn’t hold it, so these
    lookups finish sooner and use less of Apple’s per-minute limit.
  • After an Apple change, only the changed devices are read again, however
    many there are; the organization is never read in full without asking.
    Their AppleCare coverage loads when you select a device.
  • Renaming an Apple organization keeps what was read from it. The next
    large lookup no longer asks to read the organization again.
  • When a service asks Checkpoint to wait before trying again, the wait
    shows in the window with a Stop button, which ends it at once. A command
    stopped this way says what happened: “Stopped: 3 sent, 7 not sent.” The
    devices it reached are never reported as failed, and the activity log
    names the ones it didn’t reach. A stopped lookup or action reads “Stopped
    before it finished.”
  • Jamf School check-in times are read exactly as Jamf School reports them,
    so a time near a daylight-saving change is no longer an hour off.
  • An on-premises Jamf Pro under a path (such as /jamf) opens records and
    Blueprints at the right address.
  • A Keychain that can’t be read is reported as such, instead of as a
    missing secret.

Window and menus

  • One main window. Every window showed the same results, so File › New
    Window is gone; File › Import Serial Numbers… (⌘O) takes its place.
  • A Lookup menu: Look Up (⌘↩), Look Up Group…, Look Up Order… (⇧⌘O),
    Stop Waiting (⌥⌘.) and Clear List (⌘K).
  • A Device menu with the inspector’s actions for the selected device or
    devices: Open in Jamf Pro (⌥⌘O), the Apple assignment actions and the MDM
    commands, each through the same confirmation as its button.
  • Opening more than 10 records asks first, since each opens in its own
    browser tab.
  • A status bar at the bottom of the window shows a lookup’s progress,
    waits, the device count and the outcome of the last action, failures
    included. It clears when the next action starts, and replaces the “Command
    Sent” message, which had to be dismissed.
  • Demo Mode is marked in the window, with a button to turn it off.
  • Statuses read in words and badges, not by color alone: Assigned,
    Unassigned, Released, Not in organization, expired coverage, an expired
    MDM profile, an overdue report. A dimmed action says why below it.
  • Bulk actions show their device count the same way, e.g. “Apply Site
    (4)”. The single-device buttons read “Apply Site”, “Apply Location” and
    “Apply PreStage”.
  • The Group and Order lists have a visible search field, and a double-click
    picks a group or an order.
  • The link column is named “Link”; the right-click menu names the product
    the records are in.
  • The Settings button left the toolbar: Settings is in the Checkpoint menu
    (⌘,).
  • Import offers text and CSV files only.
  • The Appearance setting is gone: Checkpoint follows the Mac’s appearance.

Settings and the activity log

  • An Apple private key can be pasted, or imported from any text file
    that holds it (.pem, .p8, .txt).
  • Copy Log and Copy Log, Devices Masked are back in the activity log.
  • Changing a connection’s service now says plainly that the stored secret is
    removed on Save.
