Product Updates
Greetings,
This issue's product updates, at a glance:
Alert rules in local time, plus uptime alerts — time windows follow each device's clock, and a new Uptime condition
Faster dashboards for large fleets — Box dashboards and Monitoring load faster and count your whole fleet
Coming soon: In-Location Recovery — bring a display back from Box, without a site visit
Alert rules: local time windows and a new Uptime condition
Active time windows in alert rules now follow each device's local time instead of UTC. We've also added an Uptime condition that tells you when a device restarted recently or hasn't restarted for a long time.
What's new:
Local time windows — one Mon–Fri 09:00–17:00 rule covers devices in Prague and New York during their own business hours
Existing rules — converted automatically; devices without a known timezone keep using UTC
Uptime — compares the time since the device last booted with a value you set
Why it matters: If your fleet spans several timezones, one rule now covers all of it, and the Uptime condition flags unexpected reboots.
Faster dashboards and monitoring for large fleets
We've moved the device, alert and location counts behind the Box dashboards to the server.
What's new:
Dashboards — Device overview, Monitoring, Deployment, Inventory and Fleet load faster and count your whole fleet
Monitoring — stays fast with hundreds or thousands of organizations
Why it matters: If you manage a large fleet or many organizations, the dashboards and Monitoring open quickly and show numbers for your whole fleet.
Availability: Live now in Box. Nothing to set up.
Coming soon: recover displays at a location from Box
Next week, you'll be able to bring back a display that's powered off, on the wrong input source or otherwise unavailable, from the Location detail in Box. Displays in the same Location recover each other, so you don't need a separate PC.
What to know:
Recover devices — a new button on the Location detail page; pick the device and click Recover
Supported devices — Samsung, LG, BrightSign and Linux
Why it matters: If a display at a location goes dark or switches input, you can recover it from Box instead of sending someone on site.
Availability: Pro Device Plan or higher.
