I know machines fall off the active host list after some X number of days. Is it 30? 60? Whatever. But when a machine is just broken or otherwise gone, I know it is not coming back. Seeing it there for another X days until BS/BAM! decides to move it into the retired machine list is a bit bothersome to my OCD... So, it would be great to have a "RETIRE NOW" button in each row in the Host List table.

Similarly, sometimes a machine gets reinstalled with a new OS (like Win8.1 to Win10) and cannot keep the old name due to some network domain policy set by IT, and it then looks like a different machine to BS/BAM!. But no hardware change etc. Thus, it would be great to be able to MERGE machines. Ideally, I would RETIRE the old machine name. Then select the new machine and the old retired machine (which requires the implementation of one checkbox per host) and then click a MERGE button to have the new machine assimilate the old machine's data.

If both of these were to be implemented, probably the best way would be to implement a checkbox for each host row, then a RETIRE and a MERGE button outside the table which would act upon any projects selected by the checkboxes.

Thanks
