The Order dialog user experience has been improved: default values are displayed to the user, the dialog is resizable.

The user of the Web Interface can define their favorite services and only view them in the service view.

The admin can now choose to block the users from either one of the following clients: EM Workload Automation, Control-M Self Service and Control-M Workload Change Manager. For example, this will allow a user to work from the Web interface only.

Performance improvements have been made so that the jobs graphic display can support the Tile view of thousands of jobs.

When the user orders a service, an empty box will be displayed on the service view until the service is actually created. This provides indication for the user that the order service request has been sent.

Change the design of the dummy job icon to match the icon of the V8 Workload Automation client(QM001824561).
