Dashboard slideshows are a way for the user to view multiple different dashboards without swapping between dashboards. Read more here.

What's going on Dashboards

Gives an global overview of poorly performing computers and processes, based on their CPU, Memory or Diskspace usage. The Dashboard makes it possible to dive into computers to see what resources individual processes are actually using.

Updated Network Application Creation Dialog

We have shined up the network application dialog such that changes and updates are more comfortable to cancel and misconfigurations are harder to make.
