What's New

Offering additional flexibility for rule creation, App Control now supports rules that are triggered when a particular process launches an application. This offers administrators the ability to enable sub-processes only when they are launched by legitimate means.

Self-elevation gives users the flexibility to have elevated privileges for essential tasks, while giving administrators a view into what those tasks are and an understanding of why they are important. Self-elevation offers a good compromise when you want to remove local administrator rights, but not impact productivity.

Complex organizations require highly customized configurations to meet all the business requirements. Tagging and search capabilities are now available to make it easier for you to categorize configuration rules. Rules can be individually tagged with labels that enable them to be located easily when reviewing configurations.

Categories can be created or added to the rule on the Save Rule and Rule Summary page. See the relevant Rule topic for details.

App templates are a useful tool for organizing related applications. Ivanti is now publishing many of the common app templates, out-of-the-box, as defaults, so that you can use them. It is also possible to edit these templates, if required.

We have introduced some usability enhancements to the App Control Overview dashboard charts:

• Timeline: You can now filter the chart data to the last 30, 14, 7, 3, or day time period executions. You can also expand the pie charts and switch to a timeline chart.

• Parent process: You can now see the parent process for a particular file along with some more metadata about it. When creating rules for configurations there are more options for which data to include.

• Hide files/applications: You can now hide items from the charts and the table that are no longer of interest, for example if they have already been acted upon, such as they have already been included in a rule.

Two new chart types are now introduced in Dashboard Designer, Pivot Table and Histogram. These chart types allow users to drag and drop fields to create customized insights, including device counts and storage usage.

• Pivot Tables enable dynamic summarization and aggregation of datasets. The pivot table facilitates interactive data exploration.

• Histograms offer a clear visualization of continuous variables, such as available storage, in a bar-chart format, making it easier to identify distributions and patterns. The histogram displays continuous data ranges.

These updates enhance data visualization for both administrators and customers. Learn more about Dashboard Designer.
