Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work
Account multiselector 
CS user administration is one of the most common tasks in the portal, and we're dedicated to making it as simple as possible. You can now select multiple users in CS Accounts and CS Groups to do bulk operations to them.

Filters 
People love filtering things, be it their morning coffee or their firewall rules. We have now added filters to firewall rules and more filtering options to email searches. At the same time we have done some minor tweaks to the filters to better handle empty lists.

Dig into your connections
Connection log 
The right-hand connectivity panel now lets you click on a ship to bring up a detailed connection log for both Connection Suite and the Link platform. This enables users to do a more thorough investigation on connectivity issues, a key function in the old interface.

Copy ship available to customers -->
The Copy Ship functionality is now available for all customers, allowing users to fully create their own ships. This task previously had to be done by Support.

Config for quarantine spam score 
Customers will be able to tailor the spam score setting to their ships, enabling you to configure the spam filters to be more strict or more lenient than the default. Potential spam will then enter the quarantine to be manually released to the end user.
Note: The backend is not fully in place for this, so while users can configure the limits, it will not have any impact yet.

Keyboard navigation improvements 
A lot of improvements have been made throughout the portal to improve keyboard navigation both in components (like lists) and throughout the pages themselves. This is an important step in accessibility in the Dualog Portal.

Improved loading states 
Sometimes the browser needs to wait for the backend to fetch some information. We've made further enhancements to the loading states throughout to make this wait a tad bit more pleasing.

Dark mode 
There's now a beautiful dark mode in the portal. The portal will by default automagically use the same dark/light theme as your OS, and you can also set it manually under your profile settings. A Christmas present from the product team to our colleagues and users

Landing page service card changes 
The cards on the landing page have gotten some love and care. They now look visually slightly different if you don't use the service, and they've gotten a beautiful skeleton state to make it visually appealing while it's fetching data from the backend. Loading the landing page is now smooth as butter!

Navigation improvements 
The loading when you're changing between pages/services/organisations has gotten a huge lift. When you switch between services it now feels much more fluid, and switching between organisations feels "heavier" in that we've added a more clear loading animation.

Welcome-modal for new services 
You will now be greeted by a welcome-modal if you try to access a service you don't currently use. This will guide you to educational content on dualog.com to help you better understand how the service might give you value. (ps: check out the animated service logos in these modals!)

Make users refresh when there's a release 
With the increased amount of releases (sometimes multiple per day), there will be users actively using the site when we release a new version. We now prompt users to refresh the page when there's a new version of the site pushed to production.
