New

Cloud Home Page and the Navigation Menu

We have a created a new landing experience, which includes shortcuts to information about people, hardware, applications, and a carousel that shows digital experience insights from your data.

The Navigation Menu provides navigation throughout SysTrack. It is persistent throughout SysTrack and you only see applications that you have access to. By default, the applications open in the same tab.

You need to contact your CSM to enable these features.

Automations and Collection Extensions

The existing pages have been combined into a single area in Configure with dedicated tabs for Automations and Collection Extensions. You can create Automations and Collection extensions using an improved workflow that includes additional metadata.

Current Issues in Prevent

The Daily Issues page in Prevent is called Current Issues. The sensor list has been updated to show the percentage of systems affected.

Agent Installers are in Configure

Links to agent installers are available from Configure > SysTrack Settings > Agent Installers. Access to Agent Installers will be controlled by permissions in Configure; you must have the Configure permissions and the Agent Installers permissions. Each Agent Installer has its own permissions.

The agent installers page only displays the agent installers that you have permission to access. Admins can modify which users have access to the Agent Installers in Manage Group Features.

Select Groups in Prevent

In the Prevent Overview page, the Change Groups button displays the list of groups. By default, the Overview page will show the top 10 largest groups.

Tools Menu Updates

Improved usability to the Tools menu in Prevent.

System Checklist Updates

In the Overview pages of Resolve and Prevent, select Show Only System Checklist Sensors to filter the page to only show System Checklist Sensors.

Offline Resolve

With Offline Resolve, even in the absence of an online connection to a system, IT staff can access a snapshot of stored data for troubleshooting. SysTrack can be configured to save the snapshot of stored data once per day or when a user logs off the system. You need to contact your CSM to enable this feature.

NOTE: You must update your agents to 10.12 before you start to configure and use this feature.
