User Voice Feature Requests

Thank you for your support and continued submission of Product Enhancement Requests using the Product Ideas page on the Ivanti Community. These requests are reviewed every week and form a valuable input for the Workspace Control product roadmap. Please continue to submit your ideas and vote for your favorites.

The following user requests have been addressed in this version of Workspace Control:

Reset Workspace Analysis last visited node

By default, when closing the Workspace Analysis window for a specific user, Workspace Control remembers the last visited node. When opening Workspace Analysis for another user, Workspace Control navigates to the last visited node when the previous Workspace Analysis window was closed.

Create the following string value to configure the Workspace Control Console to not remember the last visited node when closing the Workspace Analysis window.

Key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\RES\Workspace Manager

Reset Show all User Settings option when switching tabs

By default, in the Workspace Control Console, under Composition > User Settings, only configured global user settings are displayed in the right-side pane, in the User Settings tab. To display all available user settings, including application-level settings, select the Show all User Settings option from the bottom of the Workspace Control Console window.

Once selected, the option persists only until the Workspace Control Console is closed. When the Console is opened again, the Show all User Settings option is unchecked.

Create the following string value to automatically uncheck the Show all User Settings option after it is selected and you switch to a different tab or node in the left-side navigation menu.

Key

Use the Designated Account when connecting to the Datastore

When the logged on Windows user account has Datastore read permissions, the Workspace Control Console first attempts to connect to the Datastore using the logged on Windows user, even if a designated account is configured under Setup > Datastore.

Workspace Control now connects to the Datastore using the Windows User Account, only if the user has both read and update permissions. If the Windows User Account does not have both read and update permissions, then the Designated Account, if configured, is used to connect to the Datastore.

For more details about using a designated account, see Workspace Control Administration Guide.
