What's new?

  • When an asset representing a subtenant is selected you can navigate the settings application via the action menu

  • If you enhanced your plan with the Visual Flow Creator (VFC), you can initiate the workflow creation from the currently selected asset. If workflows are already available for the selected asset, you will be informed about it vi a tile showing the workflows status (enabled / disabled)

  • On the event-list, you can now select the wanted time range through the datetime picker

  • Asset Manager now provides the Connectivity Management. It allows for a quick and easy overview of assets providing connectivity to MindSphere. 

Known issues
