New Features¶
Multiple List Layouts¶
The new view switcher displayed in the controls of lists allows to change their layout. The majority of lists use this to switch between various levels of detail. The service list below for example uses it to show a check’s output at different lengths.
New Search With Auto-Completion¶
We have greatly expanded the search functionality in list views. The so called search-bar allows experienced users full control by keyboard to write their filters. It also aids with contextual auto completion. There’s also an editor for a more easy manipulation.
Cleaner Detail Views¶
A host’s or service’s detail view has been restructured to show more details but also to make more use of the available space. Important details also got moved to the top so that they are visible right away without having to scroll down.
Modal Dialogs¶
Acknowledging a problem, scheduling a downtime or sending a custom notification does not take you away from where you’ve been. Instead a modal dialog is shown on top of your current view.
Bulk Operations¶
If you ever wanted to perform really big bulk acknowledgements or downtime schedules, now is the time for it. Simply filter for the hosts or services you want to operate on and then click on the little forward icon on the right. No more shift-click nightmares! (Which are still possible, for the die-hard)
