Developers can now offer a greater level of control and customization during dashboard creation. m-Power Dashboard users can now enjoy several new styles and themes for dashboards and charts, improved filter criteria options, and interactive chart drill downs.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/l2Oyd14B1L4\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<a name=\"dash\"><\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Application Quick Nav<\/strong><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/newsletter\/images\/quicknav.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Due to the popularity of our Admin Quick Nav, we have implemented a new m-Power navigation feature: App Quick Navigation. This enhancement offers several key features, including: the ability to toggle between applications with a single click, seeing a list of recently modified apps, and searching through applications from any screen within m-Power. In all, developers will love using this feature to easily navigate throughout the m-Power interface.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dGBrdGjgbLk\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<a name=\"dash\"><\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Menuing\/Security Upgrades<\/strong><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/docs\/images\/mrcappsec2.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Two new requested customer features were added to improve both Menuing and Security. In the event you need to assign general applications to <i>all<\/i> users, m-Power developers can now take advantage of a pre-built roles: The All Users Role. In addition, on the security side, you now have the option to decide if Application Security is now Opt-In or Opt-Out by default. This is especially useful in the event you have a Data Dictionary that only needs to restrict a few applications, rather than all applications within the Data Dictionary.<\/p>\n<p>More information about each feature can be found, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mrc-productivity.com\/docs\/security\/built-in-mrc-menuing-system\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mrc-productivity.com\/docs\/security\/setting-up-mrc-application-security-to-control-user-access\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>, respectively.<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<a name=\"OtherE\"><\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Other Enhancements<\/strong><br \/>\nOther enhancements made to m-Power this update include: The ability to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mrc-productivity.com\/docs\/m-power-admin\/json-store-management\" target=\"_blank\">manage<\/a> run-time user saved objects, the ability to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mrc-productivity.com\/docs\/utilities\/working-with-the-messaging-scheduled-tasks-plug-in\" target=\"_blank\">activate<\/a> a &#8220;Test Mode&#8221; for Messaging and Tasks, and the ability to control the default sorting for list maintenance applications.<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"gfymhm\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h1>Great Feature You May Have Missed<\/h1>\n<p>Today, the <em>Great Feature You May Have Missed<\/em> will highlight a security enhancement that was made in 2015 &#8212; the ability to mask\/scramble URL parameters. <br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mrc-productivity.com\/techblog\/?p=9980\" target=\"_blank\">This<\/a> documentation focuses on how to implement this feature.
