Admin Settings

Users Last Active Column

(For on-premises clients) When an administrator selects Admin > Users to manage users and user groups, the date and time of the most recent activity of each user is now shown to the right of the username.

This makes it possible for an administrator to monitor sign-in activity and see which users have not yet activated their accounts.

Users who have not yet activated their accounts are shown as "never".

File Type Extensions

As an administrator, when you edit a file type on the Admin > File Types tab and specify one or more file extensions for a file type, the DOT that precedes a file extension is now optional. For example, .dat or dat is acceptable.

File Management

Comments & Mentions

You can now use an Info > Comments pane to view or enter comments about the file you have selected in your Nexus workspace library or Nexus project. Note however, that you cannot comment on a file until it has been uploaded to Nexus.

Within a comment, you can also use the @ symbol to mention another user by name. Users with a name that matches the text you enter are available for selection:

When you select a user, the user's name is embedded into the comment:

The user who was mentioned will receive an email notification when the comment is saved:
