Upgrading

Run the 8.2 update on the computer where you have AuditWizard installed and follow the prompts. Once the update is completed you must rebuild and re-deploy the Scanner and Agent (if you are using it) as they have been updated.

Notes:

  • You must be using AuditWizard v8.1.0 or higher to upgrade using the update executable patch. If you are running an earlier version of AuditWizard please contact your local Layton Technology office to obtain the necessary upgrade instructions from earlier versions.
  • Do not uninstall AuditWizard prior to upgrading.
  • To download the patch you can log into the customer support area on our website.

New & Enhanced Features

New Features

  • New Registry Key Crawler: An all-new algorithm and registry crawler has been implemented to significantly improve the data collection of installed products, version numbers, serial numbers and products keys, including Microsoft, Adode and other major vendors.
  • New Ownership/Asset Management Tabs in Asset Summary View: Users will now be able to assign ownership of assets to a user and create customizable fields which can include data such as lease agreements, address details, or any information required. All the fields will be fully customizable enabling you to design the data fields to meet your needs exactly. Add an extra category and it will appear as a separate tab for easy grouping of user defined fields.
  • New Notes Interface for Assets and Applications: Easy-to-use two-pane approach has note titles on the left and the note body on the right. Notes jump to the top of the list when edited to indicate relevance. Incredibly simple and usable.
  • Automatic Agent Update: If AuditWizard detects that a deployed Agent is out of date at the time of uploading a new audit, it will automatically deploy the new Agent to the asset. No need to manually redeploy!
  • New Data Types for User-Defined Fields: Date and Currency have been added, and the interface has been streamlined with easy-access buttons at the bottom of each pane. Numeric fields have been simplified.
  • Interactive Audit Overhaul: Each user-defined field can be included or excluded from an interactive audit, instead of a global on-or-off state. Fields with data you don't want changed can be excluded so that users do not modify the data or leave it blank. Very useful for asset-management fields that you don't need users to enter during an audit.
  • Picklist, Asset Types Interface Changes: Like the User Defined Data interface, these two interfaces now have easy-access buttons at the bottom of each pane.
  • New Email Options: You can now send emails formatted for HTML or plain text
  • Database Maintenance Window: If a maintenance script needs to be run on your database, it can be done in this maintenance window rather than through Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. Especially good for users using the embedded database.
