The new onboarding tour is designed to get new users familiarised with Nanitor, guiding them through the system and demonstrating some of Nanitor's key features. This feature will only be accessible to admin users to start with but we intend to make a version of it accessible to guest uses as well in the future.

New users are greeted with a new welcome screen when they log into Nanitor for the first time.

Clicking 'Start' starts the first chapter of the onboarding tour.

Checklist

If the user decides to close the tour at any point, a button will appear in the bottom left corner of the page.

Clicking it opens the tour checklist, which lists all the chapters and tracks how much progress has been made towards completing the tour.

The user is able to access a particular chapter of the tour by clicking on the chapter title in the checklist.

This button is visible on all pages in the bottom left corner until the tour has been completed once. After that the tour is accessible through the settings page, where the button will always be displayed in the bottom left corner.

Chapters

The tour has four chapters: (More may be added in the future)

• Install agent

• Explore Assets Inventory and create your first asset label

• Learn more about the Organization Health Dashboard

• Take a look at the Issue Diamond and create your first project

Each chapter contains a number of steps to guide the user through the relevant actions.

Install agent

Takes the user through the process of downloading an agent, taking the user to the agent download page.

Explore Assets Inventory and create your first asset label

Shows the user the asset inventory and has him create a new label and assign said label to a newly created asset.

Starts by guiding the user through the asset list and asset detail pages.

Next the user will create a new label and add it to the asset.

The user has now seen how to view an asset in Nanitor after it is added and how to group assets together using labels.

Learn more about the Organization Health Dashboard

Shows the user the organization health dashboard and how to change the health target score.

Take a look at the Issue Diamond and create your first project

Starts by showing the user the issue diamond and issue detail page.

After this the user will create a new project and add the issue to the newly created project.

Completing the tour

When the user completes the onboarding tour he is rewarded with a congratulatory screen and accompanying confetti explosions.

NAN-2339: Improved session security

Related tickets: NAN-2511

Some improvements made to the session security for logged in users:

• Time before users are logged out due to inactivity reduced from 3 days to 4 hours.

• Users are logged out of one session if they log in and start a new session on a different device or browser.

When these cases occur the user will get a popup notifying him of why he is being logged out.

After closing either message the user is redirected to the login page.

NAN-2250: Agent Collector

Related tickets: NAN-2249, NAN-2255, NAN-2256, NAN-2387, NAN-2388, NAN-2405

Agents can now be instructed to act as a collector, this can make it more convenient to add a collector to Nanitor as it no longer requires a separate install.

In the collector list users will now see a new column “Collector hostname“, which is either populated with the relevant asset hostname, for agent collectors, or will say “Independent“ for other independent collectors.

To add an asset collector the user will click on the new “Add collector button“.

This opens the collector creation dialog, where the user inputs the name of the new collector and selects the asset to be used.

After adding the agent collector, the agent on the relevant machine will download the collector binary and run it alongside the agent. The collector is automatically signed up and should not require any further input from the user.

NAN-2170: Asset limit reached dialog

When an organization has reached its device limit, a new windows will pop up to notify the user that the organization no longer has room for new devices in its license.
