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...

Enhancement request for Control Center 6.1 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...
