LogMeIn Launches New GoToConnect Admin Center
Cloud software provider LogMeIn has
announced a new admin portal for its unified communications and collaboration product GoToConnect.
The portal will allow admins to manage and monitor GoToConnect accounts. The admin portal will also come with new features, including:
- System health dashboard — Admins can customize alerts to notify them of audio quality issues, call volume, and audio connection/delay issues, and when devices are online/offline. The health dashboard is customizable, and there are options for a threshold to trigger alerts, a flexible recipient list, and preferred communications channels.
- Bulk actions — With this feature, admins can apply bulk actions, including changing settings and add/remove users from a group, to a group of users.
- Custom roles — Admins can now create custom roles for a user, which gives them pre-determined permissions.
- New settings for admins — Without the need of GoTo support team, admins can now change the display name of the device, allow phones to retrieve its configuration, delete phone numbers, and create, edit, or delete corporate and dial by name directories.
- User groups — Admins can create user groups and subgroups, which can be used to update settings and licenses.
- Button configuration — Depending on device model, admins can personalize the button on deskphones and sidecars.
- Paging — Admins can now create, edit, and delete paging profiles.
New GoToConnect customers will have access to this admin center, and existing customers can switch to the new portal at no additional cost, LogMeIn said.
