The new design of R80 SmartConsole has reduced the screen real estate for the many columns in the security policies. Therefore, Hits and Comments columns are now hidden by default.
You can easily bring them back by right-clicking the column names and selecting them:
Your display settings get saved on your local computer. So between shutdowns of SmartConsole you will see the same columns in the same positions that you left them.
Please notice though that these settings are saved separately per policy.
Another change is the Summary pane in R80 SmartConsole. The summary pane shows the name, hits, comments of each rule as well as 3 custom fields which you can change their titles, to provide extra information for each rule.
