Optimize policy and objects pages and dialogs 7.4.2

Optimize policy and objects pages and dialogs 7.4.2

The Policy & Objects pages have been optimized for loading large datasets. For example, instead of loading an entire dataset of address objects on the Addresses page or within the address object dialog inside a firewall policy, data is lazily-loaded. Different types of address objects are also loaded separately.

Enhancements include:

  • Add a tabbed design for firewall object list pages.
  • Apply lazy-loading of the firewall address list and introduce sub-tabs for each type of address object.
    • Pages are lazily-loaded based on the dropdown selection.
    • Paged results are returned by the backend in order to return results quickly.
  • Update the Address dialog page.
  • Update the Policy dialogs and use new address dialogs with a lazily-load selection widget.
Services page

The Policy & Objects > Services page includes tabs for Services and Service Groups.

Schedules page

The Policy & Objects > Schedules page includes tabs for Recurring Schedule, One-Time Schedule, and Schedule Group.

Virtual IPs page

The Policy & Objects > Virtual IPs page includes tabs for Virtual IP, Virtual IP Group, IPv6 Virtual IP, and IPv6 Virtual IP Group.

IP Pools page

The Policy & Objects > IP Pools page includes tabs for IP Pool and IPv6 IP Pool.

Addresses page

The Policy & Objects > Addresses page includes tabs for Address, Address Group, IPv6 Address, IPv6 Address Group, and IPv6 Address Template. If Explicit Proxy and/or Multicast Policy are enabled from the System > Feature Visibility page, sub-tabs will appear for Standard, Proxy, and Multicast related address objects.

When adding members to an address group, a dropdown is included in the Select Entries pane to display specific options.
