What's New in Hub Mid release 2024.2.100

August 2024

SUMMARY

In preparation for our upcoming 2024.3 release, this update introduces several features that are now available for you to use. Enjoy these enhancements as you await our next major update scheduled for mid-September.

 

Configure “Allow send messages” in system settings

Previously, the ability to allow users to send messages with entries, without entries, or to send no messages at all was configurable only on a per-user basis. This setting is now part of the system settings. The system default is set at Send messages with attachments for all new users, and can be changed.

It’s still possible to assign different settings to individual users.

User Option

 

Send high priority messages

Sending in-app messages to other Hub users has been a key feature for many different use cases since the beginning of Devolutions Hub. As Hub has evolved, so have its messaging capabilities. You can now flag messages as high priority, ensuring they receive immediate attention. High-priority messages will open directly in the web interface when the recipient accesses Hub. To flag a message as high priority, simply check the High priority checkbox before sending the message. This new flag is also applicable to sending a copy of a folder or entry, which is a similar process to sending a message.

This feature is particularly useful for scenarios like onboarding new users, ensuring they quickly receive the accounts and credentials they need to start working. High priority messages will be visible as soon as users sign into their Hub. Further facilitating the onboarding process, a designated button, Save in user vault, allows users to take action effortlessly.

Support RDM variables in fields

This next feature was requested by our power users on the Devolutions Forum. When you ask, we listen! Our Remote Desktop Manager (RDM) users often work with variables, which are useful for storing input, manipulating data, and maintaining state. Now, when accessing Devolutions Hub in the web interface, those variables are now resolved.

Change entry icon color

Many of our RDM users have also told us that they like to organize their lists of sessions and other entry types by color. Previously, these colors were not reflected in Hub’s web interface. We are pleased to announce that icon colors are now supported! All Hub users can now customize entries their way with icon colors.
