New User Dashboards - This major new feature allows users to easily view all item types in one easy-to-use and auto-refreshable screen.  There's also on the fly filtering, detailed workload information, ability to group and see summary information and graphs in this very useful new view.  For additional details, see this blog post that goes into details about this feature.

Major Performance Improvements - OnTime V7.1 adds signficant performance improvements all around, but users with large databases and lots of data to manage will immediately notice as much as 10 times the performance (or 1/10th the previous time) when doing some common tasks.  For more information on performance related improvements, see this blog post.
