Resource Search and Filtering for Access Requests
In organizations with many resources and applications, finding the right resource to request access to can be challenging. With this latest release, we’ve introduced new filtering options in the access request form. Users can now filter based on system/application and resource type, streamlining the access request process, reducing time spent searching. This enhancement not only boosts user productivity but also ensures that access requests are more accurate and aligned with organizational needs.

This user-centric approach ensures that access management remains intuitive and user-friendly, enhancing user satisfaction and efficiency.
Users now have the option to toggle between showing popular or assigned resources first. Toggling “Show popular resources first” off will display resources in alphabetical order.
