Monitor and detect changes in System Permissions across Permission Sets and Profiles. Each scan compares selected permissions against previous snapshots and generates Change Logs for any detected differences.

Understanding Customization Records

Expanded Change Log List Views​

Change Log List Views now support all new tracking capabilities, including System Permissions, Field Tracking, and Report/Dashboard Folder access. This provides a unified view of all changes across your Salesforce environment.

Required manual configuration for package upgrades​

note

This package version introduces a new version of the Change / Approval Policy layout: Strongpoint Change/Approval Policy Layout v11.

This new layout includes updates to the fields displayed for Policy records.

For package upgrades, after you push the updates, you must manually assign the new layout for the changes to take effect.

Steps to Assign the New Layout:

  1. In Salesforce, open Setup
  2. Open Object Manager
  3. Select Change/Approval Policy
  4. Go to Page Layouts
  5. Click Page Layout Assignment
  6. Click Edit Assignment
  7. Select the profiles that have access to the Policy record. In most cases, this is the System Administrator profile. However, some customers use a custom profile instead of the standard one.
  8. Change the current layout to Strongpoint Change/Approval Policy Layout v11
  9. Click Save

For new installations, the system assigns the latest layout automatically.

Getting Started​

To use these new features:

  1. Confirm your org is on Release 7.0. Netwrix pushes the update to your org automatically, so you don't need to update the package. If your org isn't on Release 7.0, contact Support.
  2. Review the documentation for each feature to understand configuration requirements.
  3. Configure the new scanners and monitoring tools based on your organization's needs.
