We released the following updates since 8.50:

Improvements:

Introducing the Site Activity Monitor (SAM) for ShotGrid Admins

The ShotGrid Site Activity Monitor (SAM) is a place where ShotGrid Administrators can visit to see high-level activity on ShotGrid sites and gain insight for troubleshooting.

Site Activity Monitor for ShotGrid

There are several ways in which the Site Activity Monitor can be used, including:

• Troubleshooting: gain insight around incidents that occur (a ShotGrid site is down or operating with an impact on performance)
• API script efficiency: dig into script activity to help optimize API scripts
• Onboarding: ensure the level of activity is expected while inviting and enabling new users and API scripts to ShotGrid

Filter Panel

Improved the appearance of the Filter Panel which includes displaying the number of active filters applied to a Page. Learn more here. [SG-30529]

Introducing the User Status Diagnostic Tool for Admins

Sometimes synchronization between Autodesk systems and ShotGrid may arise with user statuses which can present discrepancies in user statuses. The ShotGrid User Status Diagnostic Tool is designed to help ShotGrid site Administrators resolve these status discrepancies.

Webhook Major Improvements

We’ve made some major improvements to Webhook capabilities, which include:

• Added support for more event types:
  • Custom Events are now available with Entity lifecycle Events.
    • Lifecycle Events are standard create/revive/update/delete events for entities like Shots, Assets and Tasks.
    • Custom Events are more events that can be subscribed to—like Client Review Site activity, User Logins, Permission changes and more!
• In addition to creating a Webhook from the Webhook interface, you can also create them from an Event Log Entry via right-clicking on the record.
• Enhanced performance feedback for load times and troubleshooting.
