Control Center 6.1.0.1 - Initiate Shutdown of EP from Web Console

The new Web Console design does have a nice look. However, there seems to be a lot of wasted space (white space). Reduce the space between rows. For example, on the Active Alerts and Queued Activity screens, there is too much space between each ro...

Control Center 6.1 - Web Console Enhancement #2

It seems that some functionality has been removed from the Web console in version 6.1 that was there in version 6.0.0.1. In 6.0.0.1 from the Active Alerts screen a user could filter what they wanted to see. I do not see any way of doing this in ve...
