The BigFix team is pleased to announce an update to Software Distribution and the Self-Service Application!
New Features available in Self Service Application (SSA 3.3.0):
Catalog restyling
Offers and Action Requests are now in different tabs. This will make it easier for the user to find information for Offers and Action Requests, and take the appropriate actions. As a reminder, Action Requests are actions that have been pushed by the BigFix operator to the specific endpoint, and that the end user has to act upon (accept, snooze, decline). Offers are instead elements (typically software installations) that are made available to the end-user for their consumption.
Multi-Actions feature
It is now possible to accept/snooze/decline multiple actions at the same time.
Confirmation Message
SSA now allows to display a confirmation message before running an action.
Snooze button available in Summary Notification
The snooze choice will be applied to all the elements included in the Summary Notification.
Log rework
More information added to default logs. For example, snooze actions executed by the user are now logged.
New Fixlet 322 on Software Distribution site
With Fixlet 322 it is possible to enable/disable debug logging in SSA.
