Release notes - June 2019
Summary
19.6 This release sees the launch Domains plus other improvements and bug fixes.
Highlight's multi-channel single pane of glass
Domains
From its inception, Highlight was designed for multitenancy. Providers and consumers of managed IT services share information using a single pane of glass and collaborate secure in the knowledge that each user can only see the data they should see.
Highlight Domains builds on our multitenancy functionality by allowing consumers of IT services from more than one provider to see all their services with a single Highlight login and a simple switch between provider domains.
Providers can choose if consumers accessing their URL can switch to other domains or not. It's also possible for consumers to create their own domain and include services from providers who don't currently offer Highlight.
When viewing any individual service, the logo at the top of the page shows the provider. Clicking on this logo gives immediate access to the provider contact information.
See the Custom branding for login page and emails section below for sample domain login pages and users emails.
Find out more about domains and contact us if you would like to start using this feature.
Alerting sensitivity UI improvements
This release sees multiple enhancements to the Status Alerting page.
- There are now two collapsible sections meaning twice as many alert actions can be visible on the page.
- The sensitivity panel was previously only visible to users with the Admin permission Manage folders/locations. It's now available as view-only to all users so that everyone can understand how watches change colour in Highlight.
- The UI has also been improved to make it clear how many bad samples are needed to initially turn a watch amber, then how many additional bad samples are needed to turn the watch red.
Find out more about the sensitivity. This is also explained in the heat tiles video.
Custom branding for login page and emails
Login pages
We've standardised our login pages for easy customisation, including your logo and background image.
User emails
Your logo can also be included in emails to users created within your folder. Contact us if you would like to set up custom branding.
