Improvements:
reading information with SNMP v3 from CISCO devices was improved;
minor fixes of nVision running without the Inventory module;
DataGuard module’s handling of Hub USB devices was improved.
New functions:
Administrative and Billing component (i.e. Fixed Assets) in the Inventory module: IT assets register database, integrated with information on software and hardware from the Agents:
storing all information on IT infrastructure in one place with flexible expanding and updating of the collected information;
option to define own types (equipment components), their attributes (fields) and values – any given device or software can be described with additional information, e.g. register number, person responsible, purchase invoice number and scan, hardware or software value, vendor’s name, warranty expiry date and scan, review date (a date can be given, when the administrator should receive a notification on the approaching review date or warranty expiry), maintenance company name, other custom file .DOC, .XLS, scan or own comments; option to import data from an external source (CSV);
option to assign assets to departments or computers;
special auditing view presenting all fixed assets, including devices and software installed on them.
Trouble ticket database and chat in the HelpDesk module:
trouble ticket database allows the users (both with installed Agent and without it – after logging in) to report technical problems by means of trouble ticket creation mechanism;
tickets are solved by the HelpDesk employees;
in the administrators’ part, the incoming trouble tickets are processed and assigned to appropriate persons or groups (according to problem category), who are then notified about the assigned problem waiting for solution;
the user can monitor the solution process for the reported problem and its current status, and exchange information with the administrator by means of comments, which can be entered and tracked by both parties;
option to send messages from the Administrator to the users with message read notification request (e.g. about the planned server restart with request to save changes in files modified by the users);
trouble ticket database mechanism is based on Web interface (available in a Web browser) and is integrated with nVision structures (departments); this level also makes it possible to launch the remote access (ability to capture the console of an offsite laptop, or from behind the employee’s home router);
chat: administrator-user communication.

mobile phones,
multimedia players in WPD mode (e.g. MP3 players),
cameras,
printers,
network adapters, Wi-Fi adapters,
Bluetooth, IrDA ports, etc.
Improvements:
Remote Access also works when Agent is behind NAT - in wide area networks and on the Internet from the level of nVision Web Access. Connection is redirected by nVision (previously a direct connection with Agent/VNC was established). Option General/Permanent connection with nVision in the agent profile must be enabled (disabled by default)
Web Access: additional options during logging in:
map refreshing frequency: 3/15/60s, default 15s,
option to toggle the automatic refresh on/off, when the user is inactive (currently the windows are refreshed by default even if the user is inactive)
option to generate reports for Web Access users: previously only the administrator was authorized to generate reports; now the users can generate reports for hosts and maps, for which they have ‘Host-infor view’ authorization; reports for the entire atlas can be generated only by WA administrator.
Fixes applied:
improved software stability and performance.
