Bulk On-Demand Software Inventory update
The platform is missing the option to update software inventory manually in bulk.
Currently it is possible to update the software inventory manually per device by clicking on Manage > Software Inventory but this is not feisable if one needs to quickly update the software inventory list on many devices.
For example after attempting to remove an application or list of applications from all devices and checking the results.
An alternative would be have a shortcut to the next agent in the Devices list on the Agent console so that one does not need to go back to the Devices page to go to another device to check.

This is certainly a feature that should be available in Atera, individually refreshing software inventories for devices is not a suitable option.
IT Teams need to be able to ensure that a routing to uninstall a specific package from all devices has been completed without having to refresh each individual device or having to wait 24 hours for the agents to refresh the Software inventories.
If this function was at least available on Site level or by selecting devices in a batch that would be far better than what is currently available.

Option to bulk update all software installations on one or more devices. Currently you can only update software one by one per device. An option to "update all" on a selected device and an option to select a software let's say "Chrome" and "Update on all devices"... with options to select device type (server, workstation) and customer.

This is sorely lacking. There are multiple reports to view installed software, but no way to poke agents to ensure that data is accurate. Even if it were via a script or something, anything is better than the nothing we have now.
