vScope 3.31

3.31.5 – March 24

Guided onboarding missions

To make onboarding easier, we’ve added a new “Missions” section to the Home screen. This feature displays suggested actions tailored to the user’s permission level (Admin, Contributor, User, or Viewer), enabling your users to quickly familiarize themselves with vScope’s functionalities. The result is a smoother onboarding experience and a faster path to IT Visibility!

Optimized vScope administration

We’ve enhanced the home screen for administrators by showing errors that require actions. Instead of sifting through scattered notifications, admins now see only the most critical issues that require immediate attention. If there are no actionable errors, the section remains hidden.

Broader application inventory

vScope’s inventory capabilities for Windows applications have been expanded to include both Windows Store-installed applications and user-specific installations. This enhancement is supported both in WinRM and Windows environments, providing a comprehensive view of the software landscape.

Faster table creation

We’ve reworked the table creation process by adding a search option to the dropdown. This improvement complements the existing “Popular” section, enabling experienced users to quickly locate the asset type they need while also helping new users easily explore available options.

Extended Azure application visibility

vScope now supports both internal Enterprise Applications—registered as App Registrations within your Microsoft Entra ID—and external Enterprise Applications eg. invited from other environments. While both types function as service principals in Azure AD, external applications require additional integration and handling. This enhancement provides a unified, secure overview of all your organization’s cloud applications, ensuring consistent Visibility of your Azure environment.

Improvements

• Added empty state illustrations across various views of vScope.
• Support for collecting devices from Microsoft Intune Endpoint Manager on Chrome and Linux OS.
  ⚠️ This fix may affect your License levels in Server and Client.

• Resolved Azure Entra ID not returning Partial on critical errors.
• Addressed the Timeline in Properties getting stuck in the loading state.

• Fix for widgets not being able to view tables locked in history with/without changes.

• Fix for Tracker cases causing issue when opening in Tables.
• Fix for computation not always being displayed.

3.31.2 – February 24

Highlight Changes in Tracker

History & Changes have been introduced in Tracker, making it easier to track and understand how assets evolve over time. You can now select from recent Tracker runs, and vScope will automatically highlight changes from the previous Tracker run (i.e. when Tracker cases were last evaluated).

• Improved Startup Time: With Java 21, vScope now starts faster, ensuring quicker accessibility to the service, especially after updates or restarts.

IT Service Improvements

• Optimized Field Calculations: We’ve implemented several optimizations to field calculations, significantly enhancing the experience when updating IT services, especially for large data sets.
