Available to all installs • Policy Optimizer — new reviewer bulk action "Bulk Certify Rules": certifies the selected reviews in one pass, reusing each rule's existing justification instead of asking for a new one. Tickets with no justification cannot be certified (the review form requires one), so the button stays disabled and explains which tickets are missing it. Applies only when an Organization ID is set; standard installs are unaffected • Policy Optimizer — the reviewer's hand-back bulk action is now labelled "Assign Back to Team Queue", matching the wording on the workflow's own button. Applies only when an Organization ID is set • Policy Optimizer tickets — the "Save" button is now "Save Changes", with a tooltip clarifying that saving does not complete the rule review. Applies only when an Organization ID is set • Policy Optimizer reviews — an empty queue now reads "There are currently no rule review tickets in the queue" instead of the raw database message. A filtered list that returns nothing keeps the standard wording, which is the accurate one there. Applies only when an Organization ID is set • Policy Optimizer columns — the rule documentation column picker can be limited to the fields an organization actually reviews, instead of listing every custom property defined in Security Manager. Applies only when an Organization ID is set • Policy Optimizer columns — disabled rule-documentation fields are no longer offered: the extra-columns picker now lists only enabled rule documentation (custom property) fields, filtering out any that v3.8.1 (2026-07-07) • Policy Optimizer — smoother hand-off after assigning a ticket: when a workflow removes a user's access to a ticket right after they assign it, the extension now suppresses the resulting "not authorized" error toast and returns the user to their reviews list instead of leaving them on an inaccessible ticket page. Applies only when an Organization ID is set; standard installs are unaffected v3.8.0 (2026-07-02) • Policy Optimizer — new administrator bulk action "Reassign Owner": changes the business owner of the selected tickets in bulk and writes the new owner back to each rule's documentation (business_unit), then re-routes the ticket to the new owner — unlike bulk Assign, which only changes the current assignee. Applies only when an Organization ID is set; standard installs are unaffected v3.7.2 (2026-07-02) • Policy Optimizer — administrator gatekeeper list is now complete: the administrator bulk-Assign picker now lists the full set of gatekeeper accounts sourced from the workflow's gatekeeper group, instead of deriving them from tickets and the first page of users (which could omit gatekeepers on large tenants). Standard installs are unaffected v3.7.1 (2026-07-02) • Policy Optimizer — administrator bulk-assign restricted to gatekeepers: when an Organization ID is set, an administrator's bulk-Assign picker now lists only gatekeeper accounts (the ticket business owners) instead of all users, so tickets stay within the dispatch model. Standard installs are unaffected v3.7.0 (2026-07-02) • Policy Optimizer bulk actions — organization-role awareness (Organization ID): when an organization's ID is set, the bulk buttons adapt to the signed-in user's role. Administrators keep the full set (Assign/Unassign/Cancel/Export) with cancellation routed along the workflow's own buttons on custom workflows; ticket dispatchers get a single bulk Assign whose choices are the ticket's own team roster; other users get a single bulk action that hands selected tickets back to their dispatcher via the workflow's own hand-back button. v3.6.5 (2026-06-23) • Policy Optimizer tickets — new option to hide the Assign button: a new setting hides FireMon's native Assign button on Policy Optimizer ticket views; it's disabled by default, and enterprises can enforce it for all users via managed policy (the hidePoAssignButton registry value), in which case the option is shown locked in the extension's settings
