Vantage Ultimate 3.0.0.17 (2017-12-18)

Release Date: 18th December 2017

WebSpy Vantage 3.0.0.17
 

Vantage Application:

FIXED: Migrating settings from version 2.2 now honours your existing Import Organization from LDAP settings. It was previously defaulting to the new 'Use Active Directory Defaults' option, and the 'Import Ungrouped Users' option was enabled. This affected Cisco WSA (IronPort) customers the most, as the domainusername@auth_realm username format cannot be reliably imported from Active Directory automatically. If you are receiving blank department or user based reports after migrating to version 3.0 from 2.2, go to Tasks, edit your Import Organization from LDAP action, and select 'Custom' on the User Details page (your existing settings should be there). Then go to the Grouping page and uncheck the 'Import Ungrouped Users' option.
IMPROVED: CPU and Memory trace logging
IMPROVED: Email recipients now supports comma as well as semi-colon separated email addresses.
IMPROVED: Migration wizard now forces the entry of your password to ensure tasks can be migrated.
 

Loaders:

IMPROVED: Added support for the %U field in Cisco WSA/Ironport

Vantage Ultimate 2.2.0.182 (2015-11-18)

Release Date: 18th November 2015

Notable Changes Since 2.2.0.171

Manager Reports

Vantage Ultimate 2.2.0.182 features a number of changes to make publishing reports for managers in your organization much easier. You can now manually assign managers to each group on the Organization tab (originally introduced in 2.2.0.162), publish reports for each manager (rather than for each group), and the modified 'publish to web module' wizards make it easier to understand what reports or storages will be published and who will have permission.

Here's a video describing how to use the features in more detail:

Full Change List

Vantage Application:
ADDED: Manager Subordinate reporting for Web Module publishing. This allows you to select a manager from your Organizational structure and generate a report based on their subordinates (either their immediate subordinates or all subordinates under them in the organization tree).
ADDED: New Split & Permit page replaces the Separate and Permission pages when publishing reports and storages to the Web Module.
ADDED: A new All Users view has been added to the Organization screen. Previously there was only the option to view by Group or by Hierarchy.
ADDED: You can now Duplicate, Copy and Paste Task Actions. This is a huge time saver if you need to produce many 'Publish Report' task actions and only change a specific setting, such as a Department filter.
ADDED: Organization option: "Find Missing assigned managers" which exports all missing managers to a text file (if there are any).
ADDED: Web Module permission to turn on/off schema and/or template analysis
ADDED: You can now publish a Storage to the Web Module via the Storages tab in Vantage.
ADDED: You can now publish a Report to the Web module via the Reports tab in Vantage.
ADDED: When a Storage input is edited, the user is now notified if a reload is required.
ADDED: Manual filter expression function "GetAliasCount" has been added to allow you to generate the number of alias groups in a given alias. eg. GetAliasCount("Usernames") returns the number of alias groups in the Usernames alias.

IMPROVED: Input dialog validations and minor user interface alterations.
IMPROVED: Updated the Organization CSV import to use the task action wizard UI.
IMPROVED: Handling of missing managers on the Organization tab (users that have managers defined, but those managers don't exist in the Organization tree)
IMPROVED: Scheduled Tasks Queuing
IMPROVED: Made adjustments to avoid the loss of registration state information.

FIXED: String to IP casting error when applying aliases.
FIXED: Websites with a trailing '.' (e.g. apple.com.) are now supported correctly.
FIXED: Fixed issue preventing reports to be published when they referenced a storage with the ?d prefix.
FIXED: Removal of duplicated storage names in tasks selection.
FIXED: PDF cover image alignment
FIXED: Fixed Browse URL from Summaries tab exception
FIXED: Fixed issues around the HD size check

ADDED: A Permissions column to the report view so you can see who has access to each report.
IMPROVED: Dynamic Reports now have data table paging controls.
