Release 1.6.0
July 24, 2023
New
- File Tracking – Added support for Box and Dropbox drive activity, uploads, and downloads.
- Chromebook – A new version of the Chrome OS agent is available with this release.
Enhancements (Changes)
- Antivirus Exclusion – An initial Registration panel now emphasizes the importance of antivirus exclusions for successful agent installation.
- Chromebook Updates – Chromebook Enterprise (Google Workspace) installations will use the device’s Serial Number as the device name (instead of sequential naming) for easier association of devices with users.
- Productivity – Hovering over each user reveals the user’s domain\login. The daily Timeline offers export to a CSV file. To assist new users in gathering productivity data, the “Workday Settings” now default to a flexible schedule, starting at 12:00 AM and ending at 11:59 PM, with 8 hours of expected work.
- Productivity Settings – Because settings are configured for one group at a time, the top filter is limited to selecting a single user group.
- Data Explorer > File Tracking – The “File Tracking” options have been reduced to two, “File Activity” and “Printed Files,” to facilitate viewing user activity across drives. A new “Category” column and “Group by” filter identify Local drive activity vs. Upload / Download transfers. Additional drive-type filtering – Removable, Network, and Cloud – will be available in future releases. Consistent labels and PDF file export have been verified.
- Recording Policy – For File Tracking, each path to be tracked indicates whether “Ignore events from system files” was selected or not.
- Alert Word Events - Alerts triggered by a Regular Expression highlight the trigger in plain language instead of regex code in the Event Details.
- Limited User Account – A “Limited User” account can no longer access Download Agents. A Limited account can view Endpoint Agents (without Add Agents capability) and on initial login sees the Dashboard first (instead of the Download Agents wizard).
Improvements (Fixes)
- Time Zone / Date Selection – When “Today” (or just one day) is selected, the system corrects for a time zone difference in the day. Other time zone/date selection issues have been resolved.
- Pagination / Show 25 dropdown – Pagination now agrees with the selected “Show” value and is displayed correctly (e.g., “Showing 1 to 50 of 66: Page 1 of 2”).
- Global Filters – In multiple filter selections, the “User Group” (applies to users and devices) takes precedence and has been verified to allow only User and Device filter selections within that group. Devices must have “Checked in” less than a year ago.
- Dashboard – Clicking a Dashboard chart element displays the correct data type event(s) within the Data Explorer view.
- Productivity – Active vs. idle time in Productivity has been verified to agree with Data Explorer event records. An expanded Activity Chart tooltip clearly shows the time and percentages for each chart element. Daily times reflect the user’s Date Format preferences, and other time zone and Timeline loading issues have been resolved. Some labels and UI elements were adjusted for consistency and appearance.
- Alerts – File Tracking and Printed Document alerts are assigned the correct “Alert Type” in the grid. User Behavior Alerts return a device name, and no code appears in their hover-over descriptions. Some labels were adjusted for spelling and consistency.
- Screenshots - Event screenshots expanded to full-screen show the same number of screens as at the minimized “Context” view.
- Data Explorer – When a “Group by” filter is applied, the Show “All” option above the grid is disabled. When the filter is cleared, the option is enabled. Selecting a “Group by Date” chart element shows events for the requested day. Sorting by column works as expected throughout, and Load issues have been resolved.
- Data Explorer > Chat/IM – Images exchanged in MS Teams conversations are displayed in the Event Details.
- Data Explorer > Searches – PDF and CSV exports contain all online Search fields. The “Group by” filters work as expected.
- Data Explorer > Mobile – “Group by” filter options have been verified. Improved performance allows exporting many messages/photos to a PDF or CSV file.
- All Users – “Historic” users do not link to Data Explorer (where no data is available) and requested exports are handled as expected.
- Reporting – Resolved issues loading and displaying Report and Export data. Email reports display the correct branding and the Export or Report name. The date selected for an Export matches its published date.
- Alert Word Settings – Neither Alert Word Category names nor Alert Words can be blank.
- Notification Settings – The Delete button is enabled when grid items are selected. Some forms were updated for consistency, Email validation works, and the User Behavior “deviation” graphic is stable on Edge.
- Productivity Settings –An unrated website within a rated Website Category shows the inherited category rating in Data Explorer and Productivity. A website with a rating different from its category will appear “as rated.” Non-domain sites or sites internal to the Chrome browser (which appear in Data Explorer) now appear in Productivity Settings and can be rated. The “Expand All” button works as expected.
- Groups & Policies > Users – When there are not enough licenses available to move a user into a Group, an appropriate message is displayed.
- Groups & Policies > Recording Policies – The “Update” button is required to apply policy changes. “Add Application” for Smart Screenshots now includes Edge in its browser list.
- Test Drive Fixes – Corrected some Data Explorer “Group by” filters and added the ability to set Alert Status on the Alerts page.
- Login Link – The link to “Login” from the veriato.techsupport.com site now leads to the Veriato Vision app.
- Knowledge Base – Updated the agent support articles to reflect new capability. Added instructions for deploying Chromebook agents via Google Workspace. Clarified and updated articles to match this release. Corrected navigation issues in Mozilla Firefox and fixed specific image and text issues.
