CHROMEBOOK MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE FAQS

What is Chromebook management?

Chromebook management is the process of configuring, monitoring, and maintaining a Chromebook inventory within your school or school district. This typically occurs through a centralized administrative platform, like Incident IQ. Chromebook management processes allow IT administrators to control settings, enforce security policies, deploy apps, and monitor device usage all from a single dashboard.

Why do schools manage Chromebooks?

K-12 IT teams rely on Chromebook management software to create a controlled, secure, and efficient digital learning environment for students. Chromebook management practices allow admins to ensure that only approved softwares can be used, and approved websites can be accessed. They also ensure student privacy and security; can limit potential distractions; and allow IT staff to push software updates or troubleshoot devices remotely. Chromebook management even allows administrators to monitor device usage and flag devices that haven’t been used for several weeks (an early indicator of a lost or broken device).

How do I automate device management on a Chromebook?

Schools can leverage cloud-based ChromeOS device management solutions within Google Workspace. Better yet, IT admins can sync device management using management software APIs. By connecting Google Admin Console/Google Workspace with a tool like Incident IQ, IT teams can streamline every task relating to Chromebook asset management.

How do you set up Chromebooks in Google Workspace?

To manage your fleet of Chromebook devices in Google Workspace, all Chromebooks must first be enrolled into your Google Admin console. There, IT admins can link each device to your Google Workspace environment, and create and apply customized settings to device groups.

This process makes it easy to configure Wi-Fi networks, install required apps, set security policies, dictate notification settings, and manage permissions for each user type or group.
