This will help you protect from accidentally open a potentially harmful link or visit an unwanted website. To open the link anyway, click the LEAVE THE DASHBOARD button.

If the the list is used somewhere (e.g., behavior policies, monitoring settings, etc.), the warning will show detailed information about that too. This will help you prevent accidentally breaking a rule or monitoring profile by deleting a list used by them.

mceclip0.png

If the the department is being used somewhere (e.g., employee profiles, access control policies, BI reports, etc.), the warning will show detailed information about it too. This will help you prevent accidentally breaking a rule or monitoring profile by deleting a department used by them.

Improvements

Configure > Access Control: View and create BI dashboards

mceclip4.png

Also, access control policies that allows/disallows permission to view Monitoring Reports (e.g., Productivity, Webpages & Applications, etc.) now also allows/disallows permission to access the BI reports.

Portal: Login from an unknow device

Platform: Cloud

When signing from a new device, you will now be able to see the instance name on the Sign-in detected from a new device email. Previously it would only show your account and IP address.

User: Access Tokens

Platform: Cloud, On-Premise

The User > Access Tokens screen was made more intuitive and simpler:

mceclip1.png

A few improvements were added. For example, empty user names will now show the users' email addresses on the list of tokens. Also, when creating a new access token, you will now be presented with two screens instead of one: one to enter the token name and another to view/copy the auto-generated token key. Also, on the token list, empty user names will show their email addresses. This is to improve the security of the token.

Settings: OCR email notification

Platform: Cloud, On-Premise

OCR Session Mining Delay Notification is improved:

mceclip0.png

Previously, when the threshold was being calculated, it would only take the last mined timestamp into account. However, there might be cases, when there was no screen records to mine from. For instance, on weekends there might be no screen data coming from the agents, and therefore, there is nothing to mine. Notifications in such cases would be misleading. The OCR notification email sending logic is improved so that it will only send the notification when there is monitoring data more recent than the last mined timestamp.

Employees: OCR email notification

Platform: Cloud, On-Premise

The DEPARTMENT field in the Employees > Edit Info screen is improved to show more details for a selected department:

mceclip1.png

Especially when an Active Directory integration is set up, you will be able to see details like the local path, DC, etc. when you hover your mouse over a department on the pull-down menu.

Behavior Rules: Block action on Files activity rules

Platform: Cloud, On-Premise

Improved Behavior Rules. The Block action for Insert/Eject activity of Files-based rules is removed as it doesn't serve any purpose and might lead to confusion:

mceclip3.png

Now, when you select the Block action with the Insert/Eject file operation, you will see a warning and the action will not be applied.

Behavior Rules: Error messages

Platform: Cloud, On-Premise

Better error messages are now shown when a rule/policy cannot be found or a department is missing from a rule that uses it:
