ISAAC Version 2.2 Release Notes

Integrate alerts with Slack, Microsoft Teams, and any application with incoming webhooks. Sign in with Express Lane to quickly access panels from a mobile device. Create alerts for assets and the platform. Experience many improvements and bug fixes to the ISAAC Workspace with version 2.2.

Integrations

Be more connected with your system using integrations. Add any number of integrations to any alert for maximum control over your notification experience. Once configured, this flexibility allows your system to automatically send alert messages to Slack, Microsoft Teams, and any application that allows for incoming webhooks. That way the right people in your team are notified and even team members who aren’t ISAAC users can still be in the loop.


Express Lane

Utilize Express Lane to quickly access panels on a tablet or mobile device. This is perfect if you only need to quickly access a couple of panels in your system, especially if you are on-site using a tablet. When enabled, “Express Lane Sign In” appears as an option, allowing you to sign in using a PIN.

Variables

Dive into details easier with the new variables page design! View more relevant information about your variables like if it’s from an asset, module, or ISAAC itself. The columns have been reorganized to help you spend less time finding information and more time understanding it!

Alerts

In addition to creating alerts for modules, in 2.2 you can now create alerts for assets and the platform! This new alert creation experience has also been redesigned to reduce the time it takes to create alerts by bringing critical information out of dropdowns and displayed in a more human-friendly visual way.

Roles

Configuring the security of your system is critical, that’s why we’ve improved the way you set role permissions in ISAAC. Using human-centered language and iconography, setting role permissions is now more intuitive and easier to do, reducing potential configuration errors!
