Operator-level UI Changes in the New VeloCloud Orchestrator
The VeloCloud Orchestrator has moved and redesigned some features to fit the wider scope of the product and user interface (UI). The new UI has changed from a single product portal (only for SD-WAN) to a common management system that lets customers access multiple services in one place. The new UI navigation has adapted to allow access to multiple services within one shared header. The primary global header now has an Enterprise Applications (Services) drop-down menu that lists the various supported services. You can select and navigate to each service from this menu. Enterprise Global Settings is now located in the Enterprise Applications (Services) drop-down because it has features that are shared across services. These features include User Management, Authentication, Role Customization (now Roles and Service Permissions), Customer Configuration, and more.
This document explains the changes in the Operator UI for some features. It also gives the reasons for these changes.
Software Images
For 5.3.0 and Earlier Versions:
This feature has moved because the Edge-specific features are now under the Operator level, which can handle more than just SD-WAN features. The Operator and other levels are also adjusted to fit the new VeloCloud Orchestrator portal, which can support multiple services.
For 5.4.0 and Later Versions:
This feature is again moved because the Classic Orchestrator UI could not fit multiple services that need configuration at the Operator level. The new Services tab can accommodate different service settings, including SD-WAN features such as Software Images, Edge Licensing, Firmware, and Application Maps.

System Properties
This feature has moved to a new location because the Classic Orchestrator UI did not have clear navigation and organization of pages. The New Orchestrator location has a better hierarchy and categorization of these Operator pages. It groups related features together. System Properties is part of Orchestrator configuration, along with Diagnostics, Replication, Orchestrator Upgrade, and Certificate Authorities.

Operator Events
This feature has moved to a new location because the Classic Orchestrator UI did not have clear navigation and organization of pages. The New Orchestrator puts all the Operator administration-related features under the Administration tab.

Gateway Pools
We have moved the Gateway Pools feature to the New Orchestrator UI for enhanced user experience. The New Orchestrator UI has a better design that groups all Gateway related features under the Gateway Management tab.

Gateway Diagnostic Bundles
We have moved the Gateway Diagnostic Bundles feature to the New Orchestrator UI for enhanced user experience. The New Orchestrator UI has a better design that groups all Gateway related features under the Gateway Management tab.
We have relocated the Application Maps feature to the New Orchestrator UI for better user experience. Application Maps is a feature that only applies to the SD-WAN service and the New Orchestrator UI is a portal for many services, so we have moved this feature under the new Edge Image Management (or Services) tab within the SD-WAN service.

Role Customization (Service Permissions)
We have changed the name of the Role Customization feature to Service Permissions. This is to make room for the new Role Builder feature that lets you create custom roles by combining different service permissions. Service Permissions is a more accurate name for the feature, as it allows you to adjust the access levels for each service.

Edge Licensing
We have relocated the Edge Licensing feature to the New Orchestrator UI for better user experience. Edge Licensing is a feature that only applies to the SD-WAN service and the New Orchestrator UI is a portal for many services, so we have moved this feature under the new Edge Image Management (or Services) tab within the SD-WAN service.

CA Summary
CA Summary is renamed to Certificate Authorities to clearly represent the content of the page for easier on-boarding.

Orchestrator Authentication
We have reorganized the administrative features for different levels of users. Operators and Partners can find authentication-related features under the Administration > User Management section. Enterprises can find them under Global Settings. This makes it easier to manage user access across the Operator, MSP (Partner), and Enterprise levels.
