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.
