## New features

Here's what's new in Guardian as part of the December 2024 monthly release.

### Panorama dashboard v1.1

In V1.1 of the Panorama dashboard, we have developed quality of life improvements to existing functionality, as well as the addition of a new **Change Churn** indicator. To access the full set of documentation for this feature, see [Panorama Dashboard](https://docs.cloudhouse.com/guardian/classic/account/panorama-dashboard/index.md).

!!! note

    This feature was introduced in V4.3.49.1 of Guardian. For more information, see [October 2024 Quarterly Release](https://docs.cloudhouse.com/guardian/classic/what-s-new/3-archive/2024/quarterly-releases/q3/october-feature-2024/index.md).

!!! tip

    In this release of Panorama, certificate validation is no longer required to communicate with your Guardian instance(s). On-prem deployments of Guardian can now communicate more effectively with their Panorama dashboard.

In V1 of Panorama, there were five indicators. This release contains an additional indicator, **Change Churn**, that tracks the number of nodes that have experienced changes over a stipulated period of time. The **Change Churn** indicator was added to Panorama to improve visibility of the rate of change occurring within a given deployment of Guardian. For more information on indicators, see [Data Indicator](https://docs.cloudhouse.com/guardian/classic/account/panorama-dashboard/index.md#data-indicator).

The following enhancements are also included in V1.1 of the Panorama dashboard:

- **PAN-113** – Improved **Users** page.

    !!! note

        This page is only accessible by Panorama administrators.

- **PAN-114** – Improved color scheme for Panorama data visualization charts.
- **PAN-133** – Guardian Overwatch endpoint added for **Change Churn** indicator.
- **PAN-134** – Back end endpoint added for **Change Churn** indicator.
- **PAN-135** – Back end 'nav' helper added for **Change Churn** indicator. When a row is selected from within the **Change Churn** indicator's table of results, the corresponding change report is displayed within Guardian.
- **PAN-136** – Front end configuration and development of the **Change Churn** indicator: display, settings, data output, etc.

#### Fixed issues

The following issues have been fixed in V1.1 of the Panorama dashboard:

- **PAN-79** – Panorama was using 'test' data to populate the dashboard if no Guardian data was being returned. Now, the dashboard no longer utilises test data and accurately presents the data being returned.
- **PAN-115** – If no failed jobs had occurred during the stipulated time frame,Panorama was using the total number of jobs that had run (successfully or unsuccessfully) to populate the **Failed Jobs** indicator. Now, the **Failed Jobs** indicator is only populated with the number of failed jobs that have occurred.
- **PAN-117** – Improved Guardian **Dashboard** button and link settings (when both enabled and disabled).
- **PAN-118** – Unable to add the first organisation account to a Panorama dashboard due to a formatting error.
- **PAN-130** – Fixed **Invite Users** button on **Users** page.

    !!! note

        This page is only accessible by Panorama administrators.

- **PAN-131** – Added help text to the **Invite Users** dialog box on the **Users** page, prompting administrator to provide a comma-separated list of emails in the field provided.

    !!! note

        This page is only accessible by Panorama administrators.

- **PAN-132** – When accessing the Panorama dashboard for the first time, no indicator was selected by default, causing the data visualization and results table to not to be displayed or populated with data. Now, an indicator is selected by default when opening the dashboard.
- **PAN-139** – An API secret key was required to enable or disable an organisation within Panorama. Now, you can enable or disable an organisation without supply an API secret key.

    !!! note

        This action can only be performed by a Panorama administrator.
