Whether WEM Web console has same feature set as legacy console? If not, is there a document that shows what is missing in web console?
s
We are adding more and more features to the web console. we also refine the workflow during the migration. The WEM web console is still in the public review status.
there is the feature document for the cloud release. it lists the current feature set for the cloud release. https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/workspace-environment-management/service/manage
we are planning to update the document for the on-prem release. cc: @Yan Wang

I think JSON action processing is missing in the legacy console. I assume it will never be implemented, so is it possible that new features are only available in the web console in future releases?

Hi, Dennis, the JSON action is only available for web console. Will NOT be implemented in legacy console.

the web console has come such a long way. I would like to see something like a single configuration set that can be used across multiple catalogs plus a config set designed for specific customizations tailored to that catalog. Similar in a GPO approach I guess.

Missing in web console - Action groups, Backup selected items (actions/AD objects/etc), same with restore. I think Assignment groups (Preview feature) could address Action groups but backup/restore is what we miss the most.

I’m going to get flack for this - my opinion on the web console is it’s a mess. There seems to be no clear direction - there are multiple ways to do the same task inside it. I also dislike having to scroll left / right up / down in order to access editing functions. It’s only saving graces currently are is it’s faster to open, and has the ability to easily copy / paste info into it or out of it.

Yes, Studio web console was exact replica of mmc console but WEM web console there is lot of difference. Also the security groups are displayed weird in WEM web console, domain.com/subdomain.domain.com/securitygroupname and it is truncated we have hover the mouse to read this becomes challenging when we have more targets/groups

thanks for the great suggestion! we will continue to add more feature set in the web console and improve it.
