The current admin workspace and desktop client are provided in Simplified Chinese. WordPress plugin metadata remains translatable, but a complete English application interface is not yet included. The plugin provides: * A unified asset registry. * Asset identities for matching repeated client observations to the same physical device. * Signed REST uploads for optional desktop collection clients. * Observation snapshots for collected hardware facts. * Event timelines for asset creation, updates, observations, and notes. * A bundled React admin workspace for asset review and client token management. The WordPress plugin does not load JavaScript or CSS from third-party CDNs. Built React assets are bundled locally in the plugin package. The corresponding React/ TypeScript source and build configuration are maintained in the project repository under `vite-admin`. ### Privacy Npcink Device Inventory stores device asset data in the local WordPress database. Depending on how the site owner configures and uses the plugin, stored data may include device names, assigned users or locations, departments, status values, IP addresses, hardware identifiers, hardware details, and event history. The plugin does not transmit this data to Npcink or any third-party server during normal plugin operation. Site administrators are responsible for informing users and employees about their own device inventory policies. ## Screenshots [[ [[ [[ [[ [[ ## Installation 1. Upload the `npcink-device-inventory` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`. 2. Activate the plugin from the WordPress Plugins screen. 3. Open Plugins > Device Inventory. 4. Generate a client authorization token before using the optional desktop uploader. 5. Download the matching Windows x64 or macOS Apple Silicon client from the latest GitHub Release, then verify it against SHA256SUMS before importing the generated configuration. Desktop installers are currently intended for trusted internal environments until platform signing is complete. ## FAQ ### Does this plugin send data to a third-party service? No. The WordPress plugin stores device asset data in the site’s own WordPress database and does not contact a third-party service for normal operation. ### What data is stored? The plugin can store asset names, numbers, ownership fields, departments, statuses, IP and MAC addresses, hardware identifiers, raw collected hardware observations, and event history. The default observation retention value is 0, which means observations are not automatically deleted. Site administrators must define and enforce an appropriate retention policy for their organization. ### Are device upload endpoints open to anonymous users? No. Device upload endpoints require a client authorization token and HMAC signature. Admin endpoints require a WordPress user with `manage_options`. ### What happens on uninstall? The plugin only deletes its custom tables and settings when the stored v3 uninstall option explicitly allows data deletion. ### Can I restore a JSON backup on another site? Yes. Use the admin JSON backup preview first, review planned creates, updates, skipped rows, conflicts, and warnings, then confirm the import. The restore process merges plugin business data and does not clear existing inventory rows. Client upload secrets and the client upload base URL are not restored from backups and must be configured again on the target site. ### Where is the source for bundled JavaScript? The project repository includes the built files and the corresponding React/TypeScript source: * Admin app source: `vite-admin/src` * Build configuration: `vite-admin/package.json` and `vite-admin/vite.config.ts` Run `npm install && npm run build` inside `vite-admin` to rebuild the bundled assets. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Npcink Device Inventory” is open source software.
