We get it—there’s always more to do and never enough time. But if you’re a Sumo Logic user, reading this blog will be a win for your day because we’re giving you six ways to slash the time you spend on tasks in your platform. From faster query writing and easier dashboard management to simpler user provisioning and more, here are several ways we’re streamlining your platform experience, giving you back the time you need to tackle what’s next on your list. ### Streamline log search with Query Assist [Query Assist](https://help.sumologic.com/docs/search/query-assist/) makes it easier to search your logs by providing real-time syntax, schema, and clause suggestions as you write queries, improving your accuracy and speeding up your time to insights. And because it learns from user context, Query Assist improves over time, offering better predictions every time you use it. ### Enhance dashboards with scope-based variables New [scope-based variables](https://help.sumologic.com/docs/dashboards/filter-template-variables/) provide an easy way to filter data across multiple dashboard panels without the need to modify individual queries, streamlining dashboard management and reducing errors in complex dashboards. ### Simplify user management with SCIM provisioning To maintain secure, organized access across systems, many companies turn to identity and access management providers like Okta. With the addition of [SCIM API support](https://help.sumologic.com/docs/manage/security/scim/), Sumo Logic administrators can now automate the process of creating, updating, and deactivating user accounts, eliminating manual management and reducing security risks from unauthorized access. ### Take control of multi-entity environments with new child organization management capabilities Managing multi-entity organizations is a common scenario for many Sumo Logic customers. This [update](https://help.sumologic.com/docs/manage/manage-subscription/create-and-manage-orgs/) gives your administrators the ability to deactivate and delink child organizations themselves–no more submitting Support tickets to clean up unneeded child accounts. ### Automate access key rotation and expiration for better security Managing API access keys is critical for ensuring secure and compliant environments. The latest [access keys enhancement](https://help.sumologic.com/docs/manage/security/access-keys/#access-keys-expiration-policy) enables you to define the maximum lifetime and rotation frequency of API keys, helping you minimize the risk of unauthorized access and comply with security policies. ### Monitor and optimize data collection with performance insights The new [Sumo Collection app](https://help.sumologic.com/docs/integrations/saas-cloud/sumo-collection/) provides real-time insights into the health and performance of your Sumo Logic collectors and sources.
