[BESAdmin-Announcements] BigFix WebUI Update

[Announcements for BES Administrators]

BigFix is pleased to announce an update to the WebUI that introduces a range of improvements, including new features and functionality and improved performance.



WebUI General Release

Improved Performance
This release introduces optimizations and improvements to the performance and scalability of the WebUI. Specifically:

  *   Support for deployments up to 120,000 endpoints on both Windows and Linux
  *   Dramatically improved user experience with reduced response times and improved resource utilization
  *   Improved automatic maintenance and transaction concurrency when combined with BigFix platform 9.5.10 or higher



Patch Policy Features
Based on user feedback, we've improved how patch policies work to provide a better user experience, and added new features such as:

  *   Policy auto-refreshing, which updates the set of patches to be deployed on a specified schedule
  *   Dynamic Exclusions, which allows you to introduce keywords during patch policy creation to exclude sets of patches during patch policy refreshes
  *   OS Filters to filter for specific OS versions



This release also includes UI design, navigation, and workflow improvements, as well as defect fixes and security enhancements.
