To simplify this process, Jump Desktop for Teams now supports SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management) integration. This feature enables seamless synchronisation of user data between your Single Sign-On (SSO) provider and Jump Desktop. Current SCIM support is available for Okta and Microsoft Azure AD.

Jump Desktop for Teams Dashboard Updates: Features Geared for Administrators

We've made several updates to the Jump Desktop for Teams dashboard:

  • Enhanced Visibility: Obtain information about every computer and user at a glance. With customizable columns for Users and Computers, retrieve the specifics you need without navigating deeper. The dashboard retains your preferred settings, ensuring consistent visibility tailored to your needs.
  • Advanced Grouping and Filtering: Tailor each column using filters or groupings. This enables you to view your data precisely as you want. 
  • Data Export: After configuring your desired views, export your data in formats such as CSV, JSON, Excel, or PDF. This feature is particularly beneficial for generating reports.
  • Inline Details for Computers and Users: Clicking on a user or computer in the list immediately presents an inline view of their detailed profile. This helps maintain your position within the list, negating the need for constant back-and-forth navigation. Those with expansive monitor space can place this inline view anywhere on the screen.
  • Bulk Actions: Efficiently manage multiple devices or users in one go, reducing repetitive tasks.
  • Activity and Connection Logs Export: While there's an API available for retrieving this data, we understand the need for manual exports at times. Hence, we've integrated export buttons directly into the activity and connection logs for your convenience.

With these improvements, you can now effortlessly manage your data, making your workflow more efficient and insightful than ever before.

Great for shared environments and hybrid work.
