Console Version 475
Training:
- Certificates show continuing professional education (CPE) time, based on the time the learner was active in the course, up to the course’s total voiceover and video time
- Staff can record their professional certifications and outside training hours, see progress toward each certification’s CPE requirement, and get reminders before a certification or CPE cycle ends
- Certifications and CPE: when a CPE cycle ends, the next period starts automatically, and each certification lists its previous periods with the credits required and earned, the activities counted and whether the requirement was met; people and their training managers can see them, and the CSV download includes them
- Audit export on Training Reports: a CSV file or a Lavawall®-branded PDF, each with a report ID and a fingerprint that shows whether the file has been changed
- Audit exports rate limiting enhancements
- Certificates print on one page without browser headers, download as a PDF in Letter or A4, and carry a QR code anyone can scan to verify them
- Certificates show Valid until or Expired on, and the expiry set in training settings now decides how long certificates stay valid
- Certificate verification pages open without signing in, including in a browser that is already signed in to the console
- Emails from Lavawall® carry their logos inside the message, so they show in Outlook, Gmail and Apple Mail even when pictures from the internet are blocked, and the logo stays readable in dark mode
Notifications:
- The notification bell shows server outage alerts in red, and alerts about a computer’s identity have their own icon
- Each subscriber shows whether it is a console user or an External address
- A console user’s subscription is removed automatically when that user is locked, deleted or no longer in the organization or one of its managing organizations, and each removal is recorded in the activity log
- Only Super Admins, Admins and people given the new Change notification subscribers permission can add, change or remove subscribers, and every change is recorded in the activity log
- When browser notification choices can’t be saved, the notification settings window explains why instead of showing an error code
- Help desk ticket notifications are now delivered reliably, so subscribers receive the new ticket, reply and status emails they signed up for
Computers:
- Only Super Admins, Admins, MSP Client Administrators, Client Local IT and people given the new Restart computers permission can restart computers; only a Super Admin or Admin can give the permission, and every restart and every refused restart is recorded in the activity log
- For everyone else the Restart buttons stay visible and say who can give the permission
- Patch configurations that apply to all companies can be changed only by Lavawall, and show as Read only to other organizations
Security:
- Computer, script, patching, remote support, backup, network diagram and uptime pages refer to records by random identifiers, so nothing in a page, link or request reveals other organizations’ records or how many exist
Remote support:
- On phones and tablets, choosing a display closes the display picker, and tapping anywhere else closes it without clicking on the remote computer
- The display picker, help, snapshot, restart and process details windows have an X to close them, close with the Escape key, and return you to the button that opened them
- Every message box on the remote support page has an X to close it, with larger close buttons on touch screens
Scripts:
- An organization can sign a script it shares with its clients while keeping its contents hidden, so the clients’ technicians can run it on their own computers with end-to-end encryption without ever seeing it; each computer checks both signatures
- The script owner chooses which clients it is offered to, how it may run and which parameter values clients may set, and can withdraw a version at any time
- Organization automation key: scheduled and automatic runs on computers that require signed scripts can be signed by a key a Super Admin endorses, only for scripts a technician approved by their exact content, with every use listed on Remote Access Policy
- Moving old Secret variables to the vault is available to every organization’s Super Admins and Admins, also moves values that client organizations use, and explains on screen what to change when a variable cannot be moved yet
- Before an old Secret value is cleared, the vault tab shows how many earlier run records may still hold it, so it can be changed where that matters
- Script output that cannot be checked for secret values is no longer stored
Microsoft 365:
- Access Review collects SharePoint, Teams and guest access automatically for every company that has it turned on, and keeps it up to date every day
- Access Review shows access waiting for approval again; some was hidden as soon as it was collected
- Access Review opens for a reseller’s client companies, and says when nothing has been collected yet instead of showing an empty table
Enhancements:
- Dependency security updates
- Lavawall connects to Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace only from its servers’ IPv4 addresses, so Lavawall’s sign-ins in your Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace logs always come from the same, recognizable addresses
