Great improvements! 👍

[Tony_Graham]

It would be nice if the version number/Take/HF of the current web console was displayed in a similar way as the desktop client.

I second that @Tony_Graham 

[Tal_Ben_Bassat]

Absolutely 🙂 -  we’re already working on that!
The Web SmartConsole will soon show the version, similar to the desktop client!

Great news 👍

[Paul_Grigg]

The wildcard editor shows a help button. Have you implemented online help for websmartconsole?

[martyn]

Some useful features but to be more useful could the current inability to work behind NAT (known issue/limitation) as well as the inability to run it behind a reverse proxy please be resolved.

Cheers,

Martyn
