AppSheet Admin Console is now Generally Available!

[alafontant]

Hi everyone

We are pleased to announce that the AppSheet Admin Console is now generally available - to all customers that have verified their domain(s) with Workspace. 

The AppSheet Admin Console gives admins visibility into the users, apps and licenses associated with their AppSheet users. From here, admins can:

• Review the most popular apps and creators.
• Confirm how many apps are owned and used for every user account.
• View all of their organization's app users.
• Verify the AppSheet licenses purchased, assigned and used.
• Export a list of accounts, users, apps and licenses.

Since Public Preview, we’ve added more functionality:

• Historical app usage: Admins can see app usage history for all accounts in their organization up to three months starting today and soon extending to six months. 
• Self-serve provisioning: Admins can choose how their enterprise licenses are provisioned - either through license assignment in the Google Admin Console or automatically upon login to AppSheet.
• Organizations as the new standard: New and existing Workspace customers can manage all of their secondary domain users under a consolidated AppSheet organization.

What's next
This launch is a significant milestone in our journey to simplify, automate and the admin experience, but there is so much more to come. We appreciate your patience as we undergo this transformation.

• License page enhancements: Based on the initial feedback, the licenses page of the AppSheet Admin Console will remain in public preview, but we will launch an enhanced version in the first few months of next year.
• External user licensing: Admins will be able to purchase licenses self-serve for their external, unauthenticated, and non-enterprise users without a seller or reseller.
• Group based license controls: Customers that pool their enterprise licenses can define the group of users that are allowed to be automatically granted a license.

What about the Appsheet Starter plan ?. Will it come in future or graveyard ?.

This is fantastic, it's already greatly helped reduce extra costs for several of my clients!

• One thing that would be nice to see, from an app dev point of view, would be an insight as to when would be the best times for maintenance on your apps.

Huge shout out to the team!  Keep up the good work! 💪

This is a great addition to user management.  The only thing I see that is missing is reporting the users last known used app version.  In the absence of being able to force users into new version, the next best thing is to be able to detect what version a user is on. 

We have constant problems of our users not updating the app, in spite of repeated broadcast messages through 2 different tools, and are using older versions that are missing important recent updates.  The only solution we can think of to 100% resolve it is to provide a new app COPY, shutting users off from the old copy and force them to the new.  But that is extremely messy. 

Please don't make us have to go that route!!
