UI/UX Improvements
Various improvements have been made to the UI to not only improve the visual aspect of JetPatch but also many workflow improvements.
New Design - New Icons
- Replace All Existing Icons with New Design
- Improved new icon quality (Added In: 4.2.5 UR2)
- Replace Text Links with Icons
Before
After
Refresh Icon added to Endpoints > Management and Endpoint > Groups
New colors to distinguish types of smart groups in relevant filters
- Black Text: Smart Group based on Tag
- Light Grey Text: Smart Group is not for Patching
- Orange Text: Smart Group is not based on Tag
- Note: If a Smart group is not for patching and is not based on a tag, it will warn both items, but will still be a light grey color
Merging Screens - Tasks & Scripts
- System > Tasks & Scripts will be fully Managed In One Screen
- The screen will Have 2 Tabs
- Tasks - Will be Equal to the ‘Task’ Screen on the ‘System’ Section
- Script - Will be Equal to the ‘Script’ Screen on the ‘System’ Section
Patches > Patches Catalog > Compliance Report - Ability to Navigate User to Relevant Activities
Clicking on the Show Activities Icon in the top right corner, under the created and activated date, will Navigate the User to the ‘Endpoint > Activities’ Screen, Filtered by Remediation Plan ID
Add Help Menu and Modify Support Menu
Help will Include several Options (Some of them have been removed from the ‘Support’ List)
- What New? - New Option that will Navigate the User to the Latest Release Note (Fixed In: 4.2.5 UR2)
- System > Smart Groups
- Getting Started
- Patching Checklist
- Release Notes
- About
Tables - Deselect Selected lines from Previous View Setting (Filters / Sorting)
In 4.2.4, we saved the previous filter selection when a user navigates between screens. That also included any selected lines. On Release 4.2.5 we keep filters, but any selected lines will be deselected.
Also, if your user session ends, all filters will go back to default (In 4.2.4 it persisted across sessions).
Endpoint > Groups - Set Assigned Smart Group List to be Clickable
Click on a ‘Smart Group Name’ will Filter the Table View according to the Clicked Smart Group (Same as on 'Endpoints > Management)
Before
After
Patches > Patches Catalog > Create/Edit RP > Create Cycle > Create new workflow - Auto-Select OS Family
- When the User clicks on 'Create New Workflow..” Button a Pop-Up will be displayed
- OS Will be Auto-Selected based on the Columns where the User decides to Create WF
Continuous Improvements
Enable / Disable Users
Platform Configuration > Users: Allow Admins to Disable/Enable local users, AD users, and AD groups with a new Enabled column.
ServiceNow Enhancement - Risk Constant is now a Variable
Before 4.2.5, The ServiceNow risk value was always 2 (high). With 4.2.5, there is a new property in intigua.properties
serviceNow.risk.value
with default = null.
During ServiceNow ticket creation, JetPatch will check if the value is not null and send the not null value. If it is null, it will send 2.
This works with or without templates.
More information can be found here.
