--------------------------------------------
New Feature(s) & EnhancementsRedesigned Policies
o The new Policies are only available in the new beta UI. You can still keep using the current console UI, but opening policies will always take you to the new UI.
o The main logic in Policies was redefined so that now you define your settings just once, and it will apply to all devices, regardless of the operating system.
o The structure of settings was changed for better navigation.
o We added information about who and when created or modified a Policy.
o Exclusions were consolidated across all services on a single page for better exclusion management.
Global Policies (multi-tenant consoles only)
o Sites/Customers can be assigned with a Global Policy to streamline managing settings at scale.
o Policy settings can be locked so that it cannot be changed by a site/customer Admin.
o Unlocked settings can be modified on the site/customer level to manage specific needs of a single site/customer.
o It’s possible to add and manage site/customer specific exclusions which are not propagated to the other sites/customers.
o It’s possible to convert a Global policy to a Site/Customer Policy.
o Site/Customer creation flow was adjusted so that you can select whether Global or Site/Customer Policies will be used.
Monthly flexible billing (multi-tenant consoles only)
o Monthly flexible billing method is only available to our partners in the multi-tenant console. In case you cannot create a new customer within the console with the flexible billing method, contact your Account Manager.
o Customer creation flow was adjusted so that you can select whether Pre-paid or Monthly flexible billing will be used.
