  The Interventions / Intervention delays page gives an overview about the delay before a user started to handle specific alert events.

Other

The multiselect list filter widget has been improved.

This applies to for example the customer filter of the event list.

The "Select all visible items" button selects based on the internal filter of the widget.

For example:

• If we type in "Pécs" into the internal filter of the customer selector filter widget,
• and click the "Select all visible items" button,
• than all customers will be selected that contain "Pécs" in their address (or name).
