The Search option for the Application List now accepts more search options. The option is found in the Workspace Control Console, under User Context > Applications > Application List tab and accepts the following search criteria:

• Application ID — Workspace Control searches for application IDs that exactly match the entered criteria.

• Application Title — Workspace Control searches for application titles that contain the entered criteria.

• Administrative Note — Workspace Control searches for administrative notes that contain the entered criteria.

• Application GUID — Workspace Control searches for application GUIDs that contain the entered criteria.

  Enter at least six (6) consecutive characters that are part of the application GUID. When entering less than six characters, the search does not filter based on the application GUID. This prevents incorrect results when searching based on the application ID.

For more details and examples on how to use the Search option, see Workspace Control Administration Guide.

In the Workspace Control Console, under the Security > Applications > Managed Applications > Application List tab, the number of displayed applications can now be limited to only the first 100 entries.

By default, the Show 100 entries only option is selected and the Workspace Control Console shows only the first 100 entries when opening the Managed Applications node. To view all the applications, deselect the checkbox next to the Show 100 entries only option.

• Selecting Show all application-level authorized executables disables the Show 100 entries only option. To re-enable the Show 100 entries only option, first deselect the Show all application-level authorized executables option.

• The Show 100 entries only option is always enabled when navigating to the Managed Applications node, except when the Show all application-level authorized executables is already configured.

Workspace Control can now be configured to replace the Start Menu of Microsoft Windows 11 with the Ivanti Start Menu.

To enable the Ivanti Start Menu on Workspace Control Agents, open the Workspace Control Console, navigate to Composition > Desktop > Lockdown and Behavior > Settings tab. Navigate to the Microsoft Windows Shell section, check the box next to Enable Ivanti Start Menu (Windows 8.1/11/2012 R2) and then select Save Settings from the main toolbar.

The Ivanti Start Menu for Windows 11 is compatible with all the configuration options found in Composition > Applications > Settings tab. For more details, see the Workspace Control Administration Guide.

The Authorized Owners feature has been enhanced with the following capabilities:

• Configured authorized owners are visible under the Authorized Owners tab.

• New authorized owners can be added.

• Existing authorized owners can be removed.

• Option to enable or disable specific authorized owners.

• Administrative notes can be added to authorized owners. They can also be edited.

• The Authorized Owners feature can be enabled or disabled for specific Workspace Containers.

The Authorized Owners feature is found in the Workspace Control Console, under Security > Authorized Owners. For more details on how to configure the feature and its new enhancements, see Workspace Control Administration Guide.

The following limitations apply:

• The current implementation of Authorized Owners ignores other Workspace Control application security features, such as managed applications security, found in the Workspace Control Console, under Security > Applications > Managed applications.

• Azure Active Directory accounts cannot currently be configured as authorized owners.

These limitations will be addressed in future Workspace Control 2022 versions.

The list of managed applications can now be exported as a CSV file. The applications are visible in the Workspace Control Console, under Composition > Applications > Application List tab.

Right-click in Application List pane and select Export to file from the context menu. In the Export to file window, select a location where to export the managed application list, enter a name for the CSV file in the File name field, and then select Save.

Use Search to filter the application list. Exporting the list after filtering only exports the search results, and not the entire list of applications.

By default, Workspace Control queries all configured Directory Services when retrieving user information for diagnostics purposes. For example, using Workspace Analysis to collect information about user sessions. Directory Services are configured in the Workspace Control Console, under User Context > Directory Services.

Create the following string value to disable the query of all configured Directory Services.

In the Workspace Control Console, under Security > Applications > Managed Applications, if the Show all application-level authorized executables option is selected, Workspace Control displays all managed applications every time the Managed Applications node is accessed. This behavior can take up to several minutes depending on the number of configured managed applications.

Create the following string value to deselect the Show all application-level authorized executables option every time the Managed Applications node is accessed, even if the option is already selected. This reduces load times by configuring Workspace Control not to display all managed applications.

The User Settings template used to capture the settings for Adobe Acrobat Professional DC is now enhanced with additional capture items:

• File — %APPDATA%\Adobe\AdobeUserInfo

• Folder tree — %APPDATA%\Adobe\OOBE

• Folder tree — %APPDATA%\Adobe\SLData

• Registry tree — HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe

The Adobe Acrobat Professional DC template is found in the Workspace Control Console, under Composition > User Settings > User Settings tab. Right-click in the right-side pane and from the context menu, select New > Templates > Other Applications > Adobe Acrobat Professional > DC.

Multiple configuration settings throughout the Workspace Control product have been renamed. Settings that contained Log on or Log off have been changed to Sign in and Sign out, respectively.

For example, the following are some of the settings that have been renamed in the Workspace Control Console, under Composition > Desktop > Lockdown and Behavior.

• Workspace Composer section:

  • Always hide "Log Off" in context menu was changed to Always hide "Sign out" in context menu.

• Workspace Control Shell section:

  • Do not show welcome message after log on was changed to Do not show welcome message after sign-in.
