Application Control and Change Control 8.0.0 HF2 is now available.
Solidcore Versions:
• Solidcore extension 8.0.0–203
• Solidcore client 8.0.0–817
New Features added in this release:
Self-Approval feature
The self-approval feature allows the user to run an application without waiting for IT approval.
The current release of the product includes the following enhancements and changes.
• The text in the banner now supports up to 1500 characters.
• Special characters are now supported.
• Links are highlighted in blue and they are also clickable. They can be placed anywhere in the banner text.
• Web URLs are detected with and without the protocol http or https, for instance www.example.com or http://www.example.com.
• Other protocols are supported with the full URL text, such as email addresses mailto:user@example.com or FTP server ftp://ftpserver.com.
To open the links, the operating system (OS) uses the default application associated with each protocol/URL:
• For Web URLs, the OS opens the default browser, for example, Microsoft Edge or Internet Explorer in a fresh Windows install.
• For emails, the OS opens the default email application, for example, Microsoft Outlook. The email address is placed in the “To” field, if available.
