Chromebook Getter

# Get Chromebooks

# Overview

The Get Chromebooks functionality is the core way that you will interact with Chromebook Getter. By using this function you will have the option to get a single organizational unit or an organizational unit and all its child organizational units.

# How To Use

  • Add-ons -> Chromebook Getter -> Chromebook Actions -> Get Chromebooks
  • Use the Dropdown menu to choose the organizational unit you need Chromebook data for.
  • If needing child organizational units select the check box.
  • Press blue 'Get Chromebooks' button or 'Download Icon'.
  • Depending on how many devices you have, this could take a couple of minutes. Grab some coffee and come back. A dialog box will let you know when data is ready.
