    Please can you make sure the interface remains as performant as the current one, so many of the 365 admin screens are unbearably slow to use and present data, the Cloud App Security screens have been a refreshingly pleasant change.

    A feature I would find very useful:

     

    Open the "Related activities" of a device from the device detail page, similar to the "Related activities" from a user detail page.

     

    Unless I'm mistaken, now you have to go through an advanced query on the activities page to see all activities on a particular device.

     

    Thanks!

    How come these are not listed on the What's new page mentioned by Yusuf-Dikmenoglu ? 

     

    Are there any plans to provide the ability to export the policy configuration settings? i.e., it would be helpful to have the ability to create a report that documents all of the policies that have been implemented.

    Yusuf-Dikmenoglu that JSON export is great. I will store it eventually anyway somewhere in GitHub account (lose to scripts) so it looks great. Not sure if it's necessary for pdf-style report, as many managers anyway will not go so far. but maybe it will be useful for SME.

    I am showing what I mean typically in the case of Add Policy It would be great to be able to filter on ModifiiedProperties.PolicyType
