Release Highlights
Minimize Agent to Menu Bar Extra
You can now control the agent’s visibility in the dock from your SOTI MobiControl configuration. With these new settings, minimizing the agent hides it in the dock, but it remains active and accessible from the menu bar extra.
Agent Icon Enhancements
The agent icon in the menu bar extra now communicates its current connection status with the SOTI MobiControl server. For messages received and similar alerts that require your attention, the agent displays a red notification dot on top of the menu bar extra icon to ensure no important notices are missed. The icon has also been updated to reflect both light and dark themes and automatically changes its color depending on which version of the desktop you have selected.
Persistent Server Connection
The agent now attempts to reconnect with the SOTI MobiControl server every 30 minutes when it has been disconnected. This enables the agent to automatically come back online after going offline for server maintenance or after an unexpected disconnect.
