# Login & Home

## Elasticsearch

### Fixed

#### Search | Filters | Filter Visibility Issue

In Search, when filters were applied and no results were returned, the applied filters were not visible after clearing the search. This prevented users from viewing or reusing their previous filter selections. This issue has been resolved, and now filter selections are retained and displayed correctly, even when no results are returned.

**The following improvements have been implemented:**

* Applied filters remain visible even when no results are returned
* Filter selections are retained after clearing the search
* Users can continue refining results without reapplying filters
* Improved consistency and usability in search and filter behavior

## My Resources

### New & Improved

#### My Desk | Dashboard for User Responsibility & Access

In the My Desk module, user responsibilities were previously accessed through a governance role dropdown and multiple tabs. The feature has now been enhanced to provide a single summary view of responsibilities across modules.

**The following improvements have been implemented:**

* Introduced a Summary tab as the default view to provide an overview of user responsibilities.
* Removed the governance role dropdown from the Summary tab to simplify navigation.
* Display responsibilities grouped by object types such as Databases, Tables, Files, Reports, Terms, Tags, APIs, and API Attributes.
* Included additional modules such as Projects, Service Desk Tickets, ROPA Reports, Governance Apps, Policy Manager, and Data Quality.
* Added expandable sections in the Summary tab for quick access to details.
* Enabled My Desk access for all licensed users by default.
* Updated Application Security to structure My Desk under My Resources for improved organization and access control.

## Browser Extension

### New & Improved

#### Enhanced Login Experience for Guest and Licensed Users

The Browser Extension login flow has been enhanced to provide a clearer and more efficient authentication experience based on Guest access configuration and user status.

**When Guest access is enabled, users can now choose between:**

* Continue as a guest for limited feature access
* Continue as a Licensed User for full feature access

Licensed users can directly access the credential screen without navigating through the Guest interface.

**Additional enhancements include:**

* Direct login to full features when Guest access is disabled
* Automatic access to full functionality when an active session already exists
* Improved validation for required login fields
* Clearer separation between Guest and Licensed access modes

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.ovaledge.com/release8.2/minor-release/release8.1/release-notes/login-and-home.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
