What's Changed in this Release

Cisco Spaces Dashboard

The following enhancements are made in the Cisco Spaces dashboard:

Location Analytics

The Location Analytics app GUI is revamped for an enhanced user experience. The revamp is centered around improving user experience and enhancing the value that users can generate from Location Analytics data.

This revamp does not impact the metrics computations or numbers.

The key benefits of this revamp include:

  • Ability to compare two sets of locations, SSIDs, and time periods

  • Ability to customize the report view by rearranging tiles and charts

  • Ability to create custom reports using templates


Note


The revamped custom reports do not have backward compatibility with the existing custom reports (the custom reports created prior to this release will not show up in the Cisco Spaces dashboard).


Global RBAC in Location Hierarchy 2.0

Location Hierarchy 2.0 is now enhanced to display only those locations that a Cisco Spaces user can access. Accessibility to these locations are defined when you create or edit roles, or invite or edit the Cisco Spaces user in Admin Management.


Note


  • This Global Role-based Access Control (GRBAC) feature is supported in Location Hierarchy 1.0.

  • The GRBAC feature is currently not supported for Cisco Spaces: Detect and Locate app users (Cisco Spaces: Detect and Locate > User Management > App Users).


Location Integration for Switches in Cisco Spaces Dashboard

In Cisco Spaces dashboard, when you add or edit a switch in Wired Network, click the Add locations option to choose a location and associate with the switch.

Test Connectivity

The Test Connectivity feature in Cisco Spaces is enhanced to support Cisco Spaces: Connector3. When you add a controller, use the Test Connectivity feature to verify the new controller's status.


Note


The Test Connectivity feature is supported in Cisco Spaces: Connector 2.x.


Import Controller Features

The Cisco Spaces dashboard now supports the task of moving a
 controller or a Cisco switch to a different connector
 within the same account.

You can move a controller or a Cisco switch between:

  • Cisco Spaces: Connector 2.x to Cisco Spaces: Connector 2.x

  • Cisco Spaces: Connector 2.x to Cisco Spaces: Connector3

  • Cisco Spaces: Connector3 to Cisco Spaces: Connector3
