Ivanti Xtraction 2021.2

 The Ivanti Xtraction 2021.2 release delivers a number of improvements and fixes to support customers including:

  • Resizable Dashboards: The highest-voted customer enhancement request for Xtraction is delivered in this release – customers are now able to create dashboards and resize the component containers within them in order to design a layout that exactly matches their needs.
  • Templates use images: When designing a Word template to use for exporting a dashboard or document from Xtraction you have had to use tables. With 2021.2, when you export a Word Template to modify it, the content placeholders will be images instead of tables. This should make editing the Word template more like a what-you-see-is-what-you-get experience.
  • Ability to save and load advanced filters: It is now possible to save advanced filters and also to save filters “on the fly” from the workspace, not only from the menu option.

Learn more about the new release by watching the “What’s New” Momentum Recording. You can download the Xtraction 2021.2 release as well as the release notes from the Ivanti Community.

If you are interested to see a preview of the Xtraction and Identity Broker Integration, please contact Product Manager Lara Hellman  for more details on the beta program and how to enable the capability for testing.
