Update to ‘Create Beacon’ workflow for IT Asset Management and Visibility
In the 23.3 version of the Flexera Beacon, we have removed the 'Download configuration' button in order to unify and simplify the configuration process for both ITAM and ITV beacons. The button highlighted in the screenshot below is not part of the UI and the workflow anymore.
The new Beacon creation workflow involves copying the Beacon UID that is displayed in the beacon UI and pasting it in the ‘Create Beacon’ workflow for both ITAM and ITV.
For creating an ITAM beacon, use the existing interface to paste the beacon UID and create beacon configuration.
For creating an ITV beacon, use the ‘Create Beacon’ button which brings up a popup. You can paste the beacon UID on the field provided in the popup and click ‘Proceed’.
You will then be taken to the details page of the beacon where you can enter the rest of the details before completing the configuration of the beacon.
A single unified beacon configuration page for both ITV and ITAM is being worked on and coming soon which will altogether eliminate the need to create the beacon for ITAM and ITV in separate pages.
