Latest Version in Software Bundles
Software bundles can currently only be created with a specific version of an application. E.g. Adobe Acrobat Reader DC in version: 2021.005.20058, but Chocolatey can always install the latest version.
It should be possible to make bundles that install e.g. Adobe Acrobat Reader DC in the latest version. Otherwise the packages often have to be adapted.

Patch approval
Ability to approve patch for release date (install only if before date or older than days).
Ability to don't approve specific ones (es. do not approve KBxxxxxx).We usually postpone installing patches on clients for a few days and manually approve the patch for servers, blocking approval of patches based on their release date.
This allows us to test them and block the installation of specific patches in case we encounter problems.77 votesNice! The feature you requested is being reviewed by our product team.

Wake on Lan automation
We enabled WOL (Wake on LAN) on our desktops. It would be great if we can schedule a WOL packet being send to offline computers before processing the automation task. So we never interupt the end users by processing the updates outside office hours.

Hide Excluded patches when counting available updates
Being able to remove a patch in its entirety from the patch management, instead of it being marked as "Excluded". Not show computers with excluded patches as computers with missing patches in reports or in the agent status.

Allow customized Windows Updates Deferment
In the Patching section, allow us to configure in the console the ability to customize the end-user experience. Users should be able to defer reboots up to X number of times and then after they reach that amount, have a window that can not be closed out that stays on-screen with a countdown timer of a customizable amount of time. This is standard in enterprise environments and is a courtesy to end users. Also, allow us to brand the window. It is all reg keys.

Optimized Automation and Patch
Need to find a better solution for patch and automation.
The fact that you can't run Updates, System Restore Point, and a Restart all on one profile without it running into conflicts makes little sense to me.I have now made 9 total profiles (3 sets of 3 [we have 3 different types of patch profiles running at different intervals]) to fix this. For each type we have to run System restore point, then 1 hour later a separate schedule for patches, then 2 hours after that a different, separate profile for restart. Hopefully it works.
While it isn’t really…

Advanced options in IT automation profiles (scan and reboot window)
Support told me that new updates on servers will be searched at the start of the IT automation profile which leads to
- higher bandwidth usage
- more time for applying patches
- reboot time which may is outside of customer's windowWhat we need:
Scan window: set time window for scanning (e.g. on day of patching in the morning/afternoon)
Patch window: set time window for the execution of the patches
Reboot window: window for rebooting (last reboot no later than X:YY)23 votesNice! The feature you requested is being reviewed by our product team. We’ll keep an eye on the number of votes, and let you know if a decision is reached to implement. Thank you for being a partner in our process!

patch management
It would be good if we can at the device dashboard, select one or multiple devices and execute (RUN Now) a non-applied & unscheduled patch profile
In other words, to assign a patch profile from the list of non-applied & unscheduled patch profile to run immediately and after that remove that patch from the device.

Automated rules based on Criteria
Automated rules based on things like below
- device type - Server / Laptop / Desktop
- OS Type
- OS Version
- etc.
This would then allow us to setup automation rules for newly installed agents or publish IT Automation based on criteria like so
If "computer os" is "windows 10" then install these applications
this automates the ability to install AV / Applications / etc. when a new agent comes online for a customer
this in turn allows for an agent to be installed onto a computer which will then automate chocolaty to install
we would also need options to install webroot…

Better Scripting Interface
In other RMM tools I've used in the past, quite often their scripting interface has language checks, colouring, formatting checks, etc. Atera's scripting interface looks like a Notepad document.
It would be a really nice quality of life feature to improve the feel of the scripting interface :)

Display a pop up message before and after an automation and patch task
Before a Scheduled Automation or patch task, we would like to have an option to send an automated message to let users know that this will be happening as well as another message to tell them that their computer will be restarted within X amount of time and let them postpone the restart up to 3 times.

Automation Profile / Patch Management
Need more options to granularly define behavior of clients.
Add options to notify end users when updates are scheduled or in-progress or a reboot is scheduled.
If a client is offline during the defined patch schedule; options to define behavior. Require updates to be applied immediately when a client is back online or suspend/delay updates.

Make 'run on offline agents' timeframe customizable for individual profiles
It would be great if the 'Run on offline agents' timeframe setting for IT Automation and Patch Management could be defined for each profile. Currently it can only be defined for all profiles.
For example, it would be great for patching or software updates to be run on offline agents for a week or more. That way they would still get the patches/updates if they were offline at the scheduled push time. However, if I have a separate profile pushing a reboot, I would never want that profile to be pushed to an offline agent when it comes back online.…

Way to update Software inventory manually
Right now if we want to automate software installation or patching, we usually write a script to silently install software and have it run on relevant devices.
The issue is that the Atera Software Inventory only updates every 24 hours. It is therefore not possible to ensure that the installation script ran correctly. If the computer then shuts down and is offline for weeks, there is no way for us to ensure that the software installation was actually successful. We need an offline software inventory that can be manually updated. In the worst case the solution should at least be…
