Release webinar: Dashboard Server 6.3

A big release, bringing a whole bunch of exciting, sought-after features and updates!

In this release webinar, Bruce Cullen, Director of Engineering at SquaredUp, presented Dashboard Server 6.3's exciting new features and enhancements including:

Scheduled Maintenance Mode – As requested by customers, this new feature will enable you to Manage Maintenance Mode Schedules directly from Dashboard Server without having to switch back into the SCOM console. This will ultimately give you greater visibility into schedules and objects in Maintenance Mode.

Tear-off Tiles – This feature gives you the option to display your Dashboard Server tiles within our cloud product, SquaredUp Cloud – bringing everything into one place! Tear-off Tiles provides the ability to leverage Dashboard Server's unparalleled SCOM capabilities together with the Cloud’s extensive 3rd party integrations to get the big picture view.

Alert Scalar Tile – New with the 6.3 release, this allows you to get a total count of alerts based on a scope and criteria that you define. You can then drilldown further from this tile, to find a list of alerts for further investigation (e.g. alert description, context, time raised etc.). This enables you to proactively take action (e.g. assign the alert to a SCOM user, link it to a ticket, run a SCOM task on the object linked to the alert).

Markdown Tile – This tile provides you with the ability to annotate dashboards with information using an intuitive Markdown syntax. Create visually appealing content without needing to write HTML code! These tiles can be used to auto populate content with object properties, such as name, communication status and Maintenance Mode state.
