Workspace ONE Access Services updates


  • New Admin Console Navigation on by Default
  • Based on the successful launch of the Workspace ONE Access console navigation re-design, the new navigation toggle at the header of your Workspace ONE Access console will now be switched on to see the new navigation by default for all users. For an overview of the changes, see the Workspace ONE Access Console Features and Settings topic, Navigating in the Latest Workspace ONE Admin Console section. The toggle will be removed in December 2022.

 

Re-designed User Engagement Dashboard

  • The User Engagement Dashboard in the Workspace ONE Access console displays information about users and resources. You can see who is signed in, which applications are being used, and how often the applications are being accessed. You can create reports to track users and group activities and resource usage. The re-designed UI is updated to the Workspace ONE standards. You can now find the number of Unique User Logins Today below the total number of users and groups available in Workspace ONE Access. Total Logins Over Time will show you the weekly login dynamics.

Workspace ONE Hub Services updates available

You can then build dashboards to visualize the notification engagement analytics. You can also navigate to https://developer.vmware.com/samples to leverage pre-defined notification analytics dashboard templates.
  • Note: Hub notification analytics are collected from the Hub Web portal, Windows Hub, macOS Hub, iOS Hub 22.10 and Android Hub 22.10.
  • Additional Device Attributes are Now Available from the Support Tab
  • Users can view more device attributes about their managed or registered devices from the Workspace ONE Intelligent Hub app Support tab. In the Support tab, when a user selects a device, they can click on Show All Device Identifiers to see more device details to assist with any troubleshooting scenarios.
  • Note: This is currently supported on Hub Web portal and Windows Hub.

iOS 16 privacy changes result in Friendly Name shown as "iPhone" upon device Check Out (89805)

  • Due to privacy features in Apple's new iOS 16 operating system, the name that end users give to their devices is hidden from third parties including us. This impacts users who are using Check-in/Check-Out and are using the Friendly Name to identify specific devices. 
  • At this time we will not be making changes to get the user set name for the device to preserve user privacy.

MACOS-3318 - New versons of an existing Network payload profile do not properly save all settings (89904)

  • In Workspace ONE UEM environments with Data Driven UI enabled for macOS profiles, the "Protocol" settings, as well as other Network settings such as hidden network and auto-join, may not get saved if you edit and create a new version of an existing Network profile.

Any existing or newly published Network payloads will continue to function as expected. However, if you edit an existing payload, you will see that the "Protocol" keys in the UI do not reflect the previously configured settings, as well as subkeys under the Protocols section and other Network keys such as auto-join and hidden network. If republished, these keys will not be included in the updated payload.

  • The Workspace ONE UEM team is working on a resolution to the issue.
  • If a new version of an existing Network payload is needed, this can be done through the use of a "Custom Settings" XML-based payload. For your existing profile, select "XML" from the Profiles List View page. Copy the entire contents of the PayloadContents array item (from <dict> to </dict>). This can be the basis of a new version of the existing payload, by modifying the XML with any changes needed.

Alternately, if a new version of an existing payload is not explicitly needed, making a new Network profile with the desired settings configured can suffice.
