Users can now be manually removed from scheduled reports without needing to replace them, simplifying report management.

Hostname information is now consistent between RC Management and User pages, ensuring clarity across views.

Kicking off a series of enhancements that will be made through the year, we've completely overhauled our Roaming Client management experience. Every aspect of the Roaming Client is able to be searched, sorted, and filtered within the dashboard. The Internet is inherently dynamic, so administering your roaming clients should reflect that.

Moreover, for our multi-tenant MSP customers, you can now administer all your roaming clients at the parent level. No more having to drill into each sub-organization to ascertain the state of your deployments, it's all conveniently under a new Deployments tab in the parent level menu.

To get you accustomed to the new experience, we've introduced guided tours within the product. You'll see this pop up in the lower left hand corner of your dashboard the first time you log in with the new experience turned on. If you need to revisit the tour, click on the help icon in the lower right hand corner of the screen and select "Guided Tours" to find the Roaming Client tour once more.

Oh, and one more thing! To free up some space on your screen, there is now a button at the top of the menu bar to collapse the menu bar and widen the viewport.

As always, we welcome your feedback on the new experience. Please reach out to your Customer Success representative and tell us how we did!
