Strata Cloud Manager now includes several web interface

- Click on an application to edit it, or create a new application in a different location.
- Visual identification has been improved with new icons for Web Security Rules, Security Rules, and Addresses.
- A new Rule Type column shows the rule type for each policy in the Security Policy Rule page. The default is Universal. You can also select Intrazone or Interzone.
- On the ConfigurationNGFW and Prisma AccessOverviewConfiguration SnippetsAssociate Snippets page, you can now reorder overriding rules with drag and drop.
- Move the global default rule, or move snippets within a rulebase using the Move option.
- A confirmation prompt now appears before deleting a snippet, reducing the risk of accidental removals.
- The ObjectsApplications page now includes filters to view applications by Custom or Tagged applications.
