Changes to the Administration page
Changes to the Administration page
In product version 6.6.186, we released a redesigned Administration page to enhance usability and provide logical groupings of functions managed in the Security Console. As part of the redesign, some of the links you are familiar with may be renamed or moved to a different section of the Administration page. Some of the most noticeable changes include:
- The functions in the Maintenance, Storage, and Troubleshooting section are now in their own or related sections of the Administration page.
- The primary functionality from the Global and Console Settings > Console > Administer and Global and Console Settings > Global > Manage is now available in the Console section.
- Scan Options are now listed in the Scans section.
- The functions in the Discovery Options section are now in the Assets > Discovery section.
