A new Administration > Automation menu option has been has been added to the Traverse menu. Selecting this option displays the Template Management page, which supports four types of templates:
Automation profiles are new functionality that enable you to customize tests automatically during discovery and rediscovery. The default settings assigned to tests are overridden, based on the criteria you provide in automation profiles.
During network discovery when new tests are created on new devices.
When new tests are created on existing devices during rediscovery. By default existing tests are never changed.
If you elect to update Test Parameter Rediscovery automation can be rerun on existing tests.
Within each profile type, templates are executed alphabetically in ascending order.
The Panorama module was updated to use HTML5. This enables it to be supported on mobile devices like phones and tablets.
In Traverse you can launch VSA Live Connect from any device that has a VSA agent installed on it, if Traverse is integrated with a VSA. The Live Connect app is a single-machine user interface that runs natively on your local machine, independent of the browser you are using to log into the VSA. Use it to immediately access and manage remote computers using a set of status and configuration tools.
