New or updated features

1. Warning when objects is unnamed

When creating a data source, schedule, action or policy a name must be entered for the object to be created. Now, if you try to step away from the newly created object without giving it a name, a warning will be shown with the option to remain at the object and enter a name.

2. Updates in Policy Runner in Configurator

When starting the execution of a policy in the Policy Runner in the Configurator, without using the step-by-step option, the window used to be locked until the policy was done. This has been changed, so the log tab will be displayed by default, and the logging will be available to read during the execution. Also, the next button will be disabled and the cursor will change to a waiting cursor to display that the policy is still running.

In the action list, there is now a hover text with the action type name for each action.

3. New view options for policies

Four new view options are available for policies. The options are to show only manual policies, persistent policies, scheduled policies or web service policies.

4. Policy icon in link from action

When opening the list of policies where the action is used by right clicking on the action type name, the policies will have their icon in the list to make it easier to find the right one.
