Bug Fixes: PrePatch report will no longer report unapproved patches; fixed bug with dual reporting of patches https://support.automox.com/help/archive-release-notes-2020

Enhancements: Activity Log’s filtering has been improved. Two new pulldowns will allow you to narrow down your organization’s activity by policy type or a specific policy. Further, you will have a dedicated search field for indicating which devices you wish to focus on. And finally, if you know the package name or KB for a patch, you can search within the details of an event. Saving the best for last: the search and sorting parameters are also being stored in the URL. You get a bookmark, you get a bookmark, everyone gets a bookmark! All sorting and filtering other than the “Search Details” field is done on the server, which means users can query the entire dataset without downloading unnecessary amounts of data. The “Search Details” field is still preserved in the URL, but is applied to the downloaded data on the client, after the other filters. https://support.automox.com/help/archive-release-notes-2020
