Title: (IDEA) Apps & DB Updates -> GUI feature -> highlight new apps
Post by: ArminF on November 25, 2020, 08:32:35 pm

Hello,
just a side mark. Maybe this can somehow be taken into consideration.

When new Apps & DB Versions are installed then there are new apps installed activated.
Would be nice if the GUI could be redesign to reflect the changes.
Otherwise you always have to click through all your partial block and refresh your blockings.

If you could see and take action on the new installed apps with a click or a filter this would help a lot.

Just a thought!
thanks
armin

PS: can the auto update be activated somehow on the systems cron tab?

Hi @ArminF

Thanks for your suggestion. If the category is blocking, new apps are selected under the blocked category. I will forward filter suggestion to the team. Thanks a lot.

Hi Sy
here is a pretty good example which came with the 11-26 update.

i disabled all unneeded VoIP apps. And allowed the transportation layer.
With the update the Telecom came by and was enabled.

So i had to open and recheck my settings with the update. And have to go through one by one for each group.
Here a filter or a different view would be cool to have.

thanks Sy!
cheers armin

I think there are two ways for implementation.

1. An special view / filter for new apps since last change view
2. The special color coding to optical identify freshly added apps since last view.
