January 29 enhancements
IN THE SPOTLIGHT
 |
[REPORTS/PLAYBOOKS] New attributes and policies for logins with MFA and CA: we've added attributes in the Active Users report to show the last successful login with Conditional Access and MFA. Additionally, four new CoreView policies detect when users and admins have logged in without CA and MFA in the past 30, 14, or 7 days. This enhancement was inspired by a CoreVoice request. |
OTHER IMPROVEMENTS
-
[REPORTS] Introducing V-Tenant filtering in Holidays report: when setting up a virtual tenant, you can now apply a custom filter on the holiday name in the new "Teams Holiday" section, and this will be reflected in the Holidays report. Users under the V-tenant will only see the filtered holidays, making it easier for them to manage the holidays they are responsible for.
This feature was inspired by a CoreVoice request. - [REPORTS] “Last N days” operators in report filters: the “Last N days”, “Not in last N days”, and “Next N days” operators are now available in Report Filters, enabling more specific reporting.
- [WORKFLOWS] Enhanced “Edit mailbox” workflow action: we’ve added a “Hidden from address list” field to the “Edit mailbox” workflow action, aligning it with the capabilities of the corresponding management action.
- [WORKFLOWS] New toggle to remove spaces in execution inputs: a new “Remove spaces” toggle in the workflow “Configure execution input” wizard lets you automatically eliminate spaces from your inputs, ensuring data integrity and supporting workflow stability.

January 27 enhancements

[REPORTS] New “Unlicensed OneDrive owners” report: In light of Microsoft's policy effective January 27, 2025, we've launched a report to help you identify unlicensed OneDrive accounts actively accessed by other users versus unused accounts. This assists in deciding which accounts to license and which to remove safely, avoiding archive costs.
