Smoothwall have been doing some reorganising of report templates over
the last couple of months. Smoothwall have over 300 templates in the
system, but research has shown that most customers only use a small
number of these — and sometimes struggle to navigate through the system
to find them!
So, to answer these concerns, Smoothwall have completely reorganised the
report templates into a maximum one-level deep structure with folder
names that relate to the task in hand. Initial beta tests on the new
structure have been highly complimentary. This new structure should be
available in a couple of months, and we look forward to your feedback.
Portal Updates …and while we’re on the subject of reporting, Smoothwall have also revamped the User Portal to include the new report templates. For those that don’t use the User Portal: it’s a very simple web page for non-technical users, allowing them to run reports, ban users and use the Policy Test Tool. The reporting enhancements through the User Portal are designed to allow authorised members of staff to run their own reports.
