Roles section
Roles simplify permission management for MSP/partner or client-type organizations with suborganizations in the Portal in a straightforward way, allowing the assignment of multiple permission levels in different organizations within the same role.
Activations
The activations view allows service providers to assess the deployment or installation progress of FlexxAgent in client-type organizations where they have delegated administration.
End client tenants (suborganizations)
Sub-organizations are very helpful in very large environments, with wide distribution of users and multiple service providers or highly segmented technical teams, because it allows subdividing a complex organization into management units according to the deployment requirements.
New description field at the workspace level
In addition to the identification code, it is now possible to include descriptions for the workspaces. They can be created, edited, or deleted from the device detail view in Workspaces -> Operations -> Edit.

Patching with Wake on LAN
This new functionality allows system updates to be applied using Wake on LAN (WoL) technology even when devices are turned off. The time window for patch installation is defined in the Portal. This functionality helps ensure that all devices receive critical updates without manual intervention or user action, improving system security and performance. It is also possible to configure automatic shutdown of the devices after the updates installation is completed.
Show installed, pending, and failed Windows updates
This function provides visibility into the status of Windows updates. It allows administrators to see which updates have been installed correctly, which are pending, and which have failed. Helps ensure compliance and guarantees that all systems are updated and functioning properly.
Collection of 28 new fields for Windows devices
This improvement provides a comprehensive summary of system details for Windows-based devices and includes data for installed versions of Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge.
