\"P2_RGB<\/p>\n

P2 Explorer 4.6.1 is a patch release, whose main purpose is to provide more integration with P2 Sentinel 4.6, specifically for Case Management, and also to enable compatibility between P2 Sentinel 4.6 and P2 Explorer\u2019s Security.<\/p>\n

Case Management, previously a Silverlight component, has been rewritten in HTML5, and is now a feature of P2 Explorer. Sentinel-raised cases can be viewed and edited within Explorer, with changes updating the originating event status of the originating events in Sentinel. New cases, unrelated to Sentinel, can also be added in Explorer.<\/p>\n

Case Management<\/h2>\n

Case Management, previously a function of P2 Sentinel, is now part of P2 Explorer. The Silverlight Case Viewer component has been removed from Sentinel, and you are now able to view and edit cases in Explorer, as well as add new ones.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Note:<\/strong> P2 Sentinel 4.6 raises cases that can be viewed and edited in P2 Explorer 4.6.1. Earlier versions of Sentinel are not<\/strong> compatible with P2 Explorer 4.6.1.<\/p>\n

Viewing and Editing Cases<\/h3>\n

Sentinel-raised Cases can now be viewed and edited in P2 Explorer. Changes to cases update the event status for originating events in Sentinel.<\/p>\n

You can also raise new cases from Explorer, that are unrelated to Sentinel. Another new feature of Case Management is the ability to select a procedure, which has a list of steps to take, when handling the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Case Management Tab<\/p>\n

Click the Case Management<\/strong> button on the Home<\/strong> ribbon tab, to open the Case Management tab in a new Explorer page. You can open several of these tabs if required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
A Case Management tab<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The Case Management tab provides a list of existing cases, which you can filter through, using the Filters on the ribbon or by selecting an entity from the Hierarchy navigator.<\/p>\n

Add a new case by clicking the New Case<\/strong> button on the ribbon to open a New Case tab.<\/p>\n

Case Details in the Explore Panel<\/p>\n

Click a row in the Case Management table to open the case details in the Explore<\/strong> panel. You can also open this from an Explorer page that has an Explore Panel<\/em> trigger configured to open the Case panel.<\/p>\n

Case Tab<\/p>\n

Click the New Case<\/strong> button on the Home<\/strong> ribbon tab, to open a New Case tab in a new Explorer page. Or you can open an existing case from the case details in the Explore<\/strong> panel (this tab header includes the Case Id).<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Case Categories<\/p>\n

Case categories are stored in the Server database. They can be updated or added to by a System Administrator. Instructions can be found in the P2 Explorer Installation Guide<\/em><\/span>.<\/p>\n

Managing Prioritisation of Cases<\/h3>\n

The \u2018AutoCaseCalculations\u2019 spreadsheet is maintained on P2 Explorer\u2019s server. P2 Explorer\u2019s Server service uses this spreadsheet in its daily configured run, to update priorities of all cases in Explorer that have a category matched by a tab sheet. The P2 Explorer Installation Guide<\/em> <\/span>has instructions for creating and maintaining the spreadsheet, so that it will auto-prioritise cases based on a matrix of rules defined for each category.<\/p>\n

Case URLs<\/h3>\n

The URL command for opening a case in P2 Explorer is:<\/p>\n

https:\/\/[server name]\/ P2.Explorer\/cases\/[CaseId]<\/em> <\/span>where [server name] is the name of the Explorer Server and [CaseId] is the case\u2019s ID.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

New Trigger Type for Explore Panel<\/h2>\n

A new trigger is available in Studio, for page designers, for opening the Explore panel, every time the configured variable changes.<\/p>\n

In this release, the Open Case Panel action type is the only one available for this trigger type. The trigger can be configured to open the case details in the Explorer panel, for a selected Case Id.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Enhancements in the Explorer Framework<\/h2>\n

Notifications Panel in Info Zone<\/h3>\n

The Info Zone now also includes the new Notifications panel, denoted by a bell icon \"\" which also indicates the number of unread notifications, if any, for the current user.<\/p>\n

Notifications are sent to a user when another user assigns them to a case.<\/p>\n

The Notifications<\/strong> panel is coloured in grey.<\/p>\n
