Menu Quick Actions - The list of quick actions has been highlighted in order to be more visible
Extended Menu - It presents links to other sections of the system divided into appropriate groups thanks to which navigating through the menu is now much more convenient
[Tables] - Due to the set of introduced optimization changes, all sections containing data now load faster:
Asynchronous Filters - Table filters are now loaded asynchronously while accessing a particular section, which grants the administrator faster admission to the most important content
Filters Auto-complete - Lists in filters such as the Locations List, Clients List, Racks List, Models List or Types List, are now loaded dynamically based on the criteria provided by the administrator
Compact View - You can now decide in what way tables should be displayed in the panel. The default view presents more detailed information while the compact one shows data in a more condensed way owing to which it is possible to display a greater number of rows on one page of the table:
Configure the display of a given table (for a specific section as well as a particular logged-in administrator)
Set up the display of all tables in the system (for all sections and administrators)
Item Types Colors - All predefined item and device types are now marked with appropriate colors, used during the devices’ presentation in rack cabinets. This way, the identification of the particular item types is much simpler and faster.
Quick Filters - To improve the search process, fast predefined filters have been added to the main system tables
Quick Stats - To provide a comprehensive summary of the currently displayed data, quick statistics have been introduced to the main system tables
[Item Models] - New fields have been implemented to the creation and edition forms of the item model:
Device Bays - The quantity and names of device bays can be now specified while editing or creating the item model. This option, available for the Blade type exclusively, provides an automatic assignment of bays when a device with the selected model is being created.
Network Ports - You can now define the number of network ports as well as their names, speed, and type while editing or creating the item model. Network ports will be added automatically at the time of generating a device with the selected model.
Power Ports - At the time of creating or editing the item model, you will be able to specify the number of power ports as well as their names. Power ports will be automatically added while setting up a device with the selected model.
[Clients & Administrators] - Numerous enhancements have been introduced to the client’s view in the system along with the separation of the “Users” and “Administrators” sections:
Clients - The section presents users with the “Clients” role assigned to them. Only these ones are granted access to the client area services
Administrators - Each administrator added to the system can be found in this section
User Card - A card containing the most important data has been introduced to the user summary view
[Inventory - Warranty Information] - The new “Warranty” field has been implemented, displaying the time from the purchase that is left until the end of the warranty period.

[Orders Improvements] - The ordering process as well as the mechanism of matching the appropriate server have been significantly improved:
“Any Model” Criterion - Added “Any Model” value to the “Target Server Model” field while placing an order for a dedicated server. After such order completion, any available server from a chosen location should be automatically matched to it, regardless of the model.
Multiple Parts Criterion - It is now possible to define an unlimited number of parts as one of the criteria while placing an order. You will be able to specify that the server should have a particular number of parts of a given type (e.g. RAM, HDD, CPU, etc.) as opposed to the previous version where you could determine only one such item.
Activity Logs - All key changes made within a particular order are listed in this section
Provisioning Queue - At the moment of activating a service, all the necessary actions such as starting the OS installation, booting the device, removing previous notifications, which in the previous version were executed one by one and performed in real time, will be now carried out asynchronously, set in queue one after another
Provisioning Actions - The ability to define the sequence of action performance during the provisioning process has been added. Now, it is possible to determine which action should be performed at the beginning and which should be left until the end. In addition, you are enabled to specify whether the particular action should result in the interruption or continuation of the provisioning process.
