-
Out phasing old reports. The old reports will no longer be updated with new data. The new Qliksense reports also contain all information, so there will be no 2 reports for the same data. As from the next releases (4.11, 4.12) we will start removing the old reports.
-
The old reports are grouped into the new reports menu.
-
Network status
-
New Network Status. Today you can see if an endpoint is connected or not connected. We will add 3 new status for the endpoint.

-
This new network status will indicate that the device is attached -and hence reachable via SMS- but has no data session.
