• Enhanced the reporting functionality of the API so now they return the same values and columns as in the Admin Center Reports for Login, CustomerSurvey, Session, MissedSessions, Performance, and FailedSessions report types.
• A new API call method was introduced.

We are proud to announce the release of the Rescue Calling Card for macOS, a feature that historically has only been available to our Windows-based customers.

The Calling Card lets end users quickly and easily initiate a pin or channel-based support session from a desktop shortcut using a pre-installed component. This feature provides for a faster, smoother session initiation experience, as the user does not need to navigate to a pin entry site to download the applet. With Channel based sessions, users can even enter information about the problem as well as their contact or any other information into the custom fields - reducing the need for the Technician to gather additional information. The Calling Card is also brandable and customers can add their own logos and labels to make it feel like a natural extension to their existing tools.

• Master Administrators, Administrators and Master Account Holders are required to enter their passwords in the Admin Center to change email addresses and passwords?

• Updated the MSI message box text.
• This applet uses a new command line parameter that rearranges the gateway domain name to use the pattern with the company ID. Consequently customers who connect to a gateway via a proxy can now block the DNS-connection before the applet gets connected to the proxy.
  Note: This feature is available only on demand.
