ChromeOS device list

The ChromeOS device list page has two tabs:

  1. Devices—Includes the notifications module and the list of devices.
  2. Dashboards—Displays aggregated insights into your device fleet through various dashboard.

When you switch between organizational units, the displayed device count and dashboard information dynamically updates to reflect the selected organizational unit. To maximize the use of the dashboards, turn on the reporting policies.

Devices tab

Notifications module

The notification module at the top informs you about devices that require your attention, in addition to your ChromeOS device list page. Depending on the number of devices, it might take some time for the notifications to load. The percentage of the device fleet that requires attention is calculated based on the total number of devices in the selected organizational unit.

Device notification Description

Searching

On the Devices page, click the heading of a column to sort by different criteria. You can apply filters to search for specific devices.

Filter by notifications

You can filter a device list by clicking a notification. To view information on resolving a notification, click the information icon in the notification card.

Search for devices

  1. (Optional) To search all organizational units, on the left, click All devices.
    Note: For delegated admins, clicking All devices lists only the devices from organizational units that the delegated admin has access to.
  2. Click Search or add a filter and select the field to search.
  3. Enter your search criteria and click Apply.
  4. (Optional) To search multiple fields, add a filter for each field, enter search criteria, and click Apply.

Filter by status

You can filter the devices to see all that are provisioned, deprovisioned, disabled, or suspended.

  1. On the main listing page, click Status.
  2. From the menu, select a status and click Apply.

You can see all devices that have the specified status. You can also view all devices.

Filters for the fields User, Location, Notes, and Model return only strings that contain the exact word you entered in the search criteria. For example, if some devices have the value tasty applepie and you enter apple in the filter, no device is returned. If you enter tasty all tasty applepie devices are returned. Symbols and punctuation marks are treated as spaces. For example, searching for admin@example.com is the same as searching for admin example com.

Filters such as Asset ID, Serial number, and Chrome version perform a real substring partial matching search when the user enters 2 or more characters. For example, to search for the version number 102.0.5005.20, enter 5005.

Use the following guidelines for each field.

Filter value Description

Device actions
Action Description

Move

When you enroll devices, they automatically go in the top-level organizational unit. Click Move and choose the organization that you want to move the device to.

Reset

Remotely deletes data from devices. You can remove all user profiles and data from the selected device but keep the device's enrollment state and device data, such as network profiles. Or, you can completely wipe it, removing all data including user profiles, device policies, and enrollment data. Devices are restored to factory state. If forced re-enrollment is turned off, users can use the device without re-enrolling it into your account. For details, see Reassign a device to a different user.

The clear user profiles command stays valid for up to 180 days, and the factory reset command stays valid for up to 5 years. This helps to ensure that the commands complete, even if devices are temporarily offline or unavailable. If there is already an existing pending command, subsequent commands are queued for the device. Queued commands might include reboot, set volume, take screenshot, upload logs, and so on. If a command remains stuck in pending for too long, connect the affected devices to the internet and reboot them. If you continue to have issues with a stuck command, contact support.

Reset ESIM

Permanently removes all eSIM profiles from devices. Users see a message letting them know that eSIM profiles have been cleared from the device. eSIM profiles are no longer listed on the mobile data settings page on their devices.

Check with your carrier for expected behavior before you reset your eSIM. In many cases, devices do not automatically get a new eSIM profile using the same policy configured SMDP+URL.

Note: Reset ESIM is the only way to remotely remove an eSIM profile. If you remove cellular configurations, deprovision or disable devices, or move devices from one organizational unit to another, eSIM profiles remain on devices.

Disable Disable a device so no one can use it. For example, if it's lost or stolen. For details, see Repair, repurpose or retire ChromeOS devices.
Deprovision Deprovision devices that are no longer being used in your organization, so that you’re no longer managing them. For details, see Repair, repurpose or retire ChromeOS devices.
Capture logs

For devices that have enabled device system log upload

Triggers a new upload of device attributes and logs for devices. Logs are stored in System logs, under System activity and troubleshooting. You’ll see a message when the device attributes are successfully uploaded.

Export logs

Displayed instead of Capture logs when all requirements are met.

Requirements

  • ChromeOS version
    • 114 or above for Kiosk only devices
    • 122 or above for all other devices
  • Device system log upload setting is turned on
  • Export Logs Action admin privilege

You can troubleshoot ChromeOS devices by capturing additional logs and exporting them from the Admin console.

For details, see Remote Log collection for ChromeOS devices.
Remote desktop

Starts a remote session to a device. For details, see Access ChromeOS devices remotely.

Reboot

Requirements
ChromeOS version 113 or above for all devices

Reboots the ChromeOS device when the remote reboot command has been received by the device.

Take a screenshot

Only available on kiosk devices

Takes a screenshot of the device's screen and stores it in Screenshots, under System activity and troubleshooting. .

If a screenshot fails, you’ll see a message with one of the following error codes:

  • 0—Generic failure.
  • 1—Screenshot failed because user input was detected.
  • 2—Failed to get screenshots. For example, there is no screen connected to the device.
  • 3, 4—Failed due to server error.
  • 5—Failed due to client error.
  • 6—Failed because the upload URL is invalid.

Note: Devices that are in kiosk mode and have had user input (for example, mouse or keyboard movements within a kiosk session) are not eligible for screenshots until the device is restarted. Then, the device must autolaunch into a kiosk app for screenshots to work.

Set volume

Only available on kiosk devices

Remotely sets the volume level for managed devices in kiosk mode.

Use the slider to select the volume level and click Set volume. In the top right, under Your tasks, you’ll see a notification when the volume is successfully set on the device.

To use bulk actions on the Devices page, check the box next to the devices you want to select. Then choose a bulk action:

  • Move selected items
  • Disable selected items
  • Deprovision selected items
  • Reboot selected items
  • Reset selected items
  • Reset eSIM (Available only if all selected devices are eSIM capable devices)
