Service Desk Web Portal – March 17, 2022
New!
- Perform Mass Assignment of Customer Portal Access
-
Admins can now
mass assign various customer portal access levels to their customers, either by selecting individual customers or assigning one access level to all customers. Additionally, they can choose to send out an email invitation, which will notify new customers to
activate their new account for the Customer Portal. Previously, admins could only change the customer portal access level individually per customer record.
Note: The customers that are selected for mass assignment must have valid customer records; they must be assigned with the required dependent records before performing this mass action, otherwise they will not be updated.
- Perform Full Account Reset
-
Admins now see a new
Full SD Reset setting
on the "Labs" tab within their Account Wide-Settings, where they can delete all of their account data and start over.
Warning: This action cannot be undone – be absolutely sure you want to delete your account information before selecting Save for this setting.
LogMeIn is now GoTo – February 2, 2022

Service Desk Web Portal – December 01, 2021
New!
- Perform Mass Actions Using Self Service
-
Admins now see a new "Self Service" tab within their Account-Wide Settings, where they can
apply bulk changes for various actions, including the following:
- Add all users or customers to services
- Add all services to users or customers
- Unarchive incidents
- Delete all your customers and/or companies
- Exclude Account from Automatic Incident Archiving
-
- Admins now see a new checkbox for Exclude account from archival process on the "Labs" tab within their Account Wide-Settings, where they can opt-out of the automatic incident archival process.

Profile Management Portal (v1.15.5) & Login Service – September 17, 2021
New!
- Support for Multifactor Authentication
- Users now have the ability to set up multifactor authentication as an added layer of security when signing in to their GoTo account. Users can begin the enrollment process and manage their paired mobile devices within the "Enhanced Security" section on the Sign In & Security page at https://profile.logmeininc.com/signin-security. Once set up, the user will be prompted to enter a code from their authenticator app in order to access their GoTo product account going forward.
-
Note: If a user pairs their mobile device but disables the Enhanced Security setting, the user may still be prompted to verify their login via the paired multifactor authentication device (which is done via email verification when no device is paired) for security purposes when they sign in to their account.
-
Previously, multifactor authentication was only supported for GoToAssist Remote Support (v4 and v5) users. These existing users (who have already paired a mobile device with their account) will not be impacted by these changes, and their paired mobile devices will automatically be recognized and listed within the Sign In & Security page, now under the "Enhanced Security" section. However, those GoToAssist Remote Support users will still need to enable the Enhanced Security setting, which will improve their login security by leveraging multiple factor and risk-based scores.

- Agents who initiate support sessions from within Service Desk incidents will now see Authorize & Start Support Session (if they have not authenticated in the last 60 minutes) as the system now uses the API v2 for authentication.

If accepted, their user profile will move to the new account, along with their session history, upcoming scheduled sessions, and recordings. If users do not take action, admins can resend the invitation or delete them. Previously, users (whose profiles already existed in our system) were required to contact Customer Care in order to transfer to a new account.
- Updates to Product Logos for User Statuses
-
Admins can now easily recognize users who have been invited to join their account but have not yet activated their account by the hollow product logos (
) displayed for the user under the Product status column on the Manage Users page. Alternatively, when the user joins the admin's account, their product logos are filled in (

Previously, users could only connect their Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, and/or Microsoft accounts.

New!
- Manage Report Access for Agents
-
Account admins can now
configure the "Access to recordings and reporting" pane in
Admin Settings to choose between allowing agents to access both session recordings and reporting for all users, or only allowing agents to access their own session recordings (which excludes reports). Previously, this account-wide setting could only be configured for session recordings, not reports.
Note: By default, admins are able to view all reports and session recordings for agents.
- Additionally, all existing accounts before this release will continue to be configured to allow all agents to access all recordings and reports, whereas all accounts created after this release will be configured to restrict agents to access only their own recordings and excludes access to reports. However, this account-wide restriction/allowance privilege can be changed for all users within the account's Admin Settings.

-
The Welcome email and Change email templates have a new look and feel! Note that any customizations made to the previous template will also be carried over to the new template.
Note: This feature is being rolled out in a phased manner. This release enabled it as the default setting for most accounts (with the ability to opt-out, if desired), and made it available as an opt-in feature for other accounts – both of which can be configured within Admin Settings under Email Customizations. All new accounts will only see the new email templates and be unable to opt-out. A future release will make it the default setting for all accounts.
