Bug Description
Evergreen 3.3
As with the XUL client, when registering a new workstation, it would be nice if the computer hostname were used to pre-populate the workstation name field. Since hostname is not accessible via JavaScript, I propose we add a 'hostname' command to Hatch and teach the staff client to fetch the hostname (when Hatch is available) to use as the default workstation name.
To post a comment you must log in.
Since a user could use multiple browsers on the same host, could the default be hostname + browser name? I'm worried about users losing all their settings when they create an identically named workstation in a different browser.
