Agreed, can see no reason why we shouldn't be able to expand any column on any screen.

Under Review · AdminJon (Admin, Sophos Features & Ideas Laboratory) responded

We are looking at changes to help avoid large numbers of reboot related alerts. This work is not yet planned, so I can’t provide a date, but the proposed implementation would be as below.

For urgent reboots, e.g. to complete removal of a competitor product being replaced, users will see a notification immediately.

For non-urgent reboots (i.e. where protection is maintained), users will not see a reboot for the first 2 weeks (typically they will reboot in this time anyway, e.g. for windows updates).

If not rebooted for 2 weeks they will see a notification they can dismiss.

The reboot notification be persistent on an endpoint; it will require acknowledgement by the user to clear it. We would expect to have a registry key to be able to prevent this behaviour for systems like shop tills, advertising displays and so on.

If a further week goes by without a reboot they will see another. Only then will an admin alert be generated.

The “Improved device list views” feature will allow admins to identify systems pending a reboot regardless of alerts should this information be needed:

https://ideas.sophos.com/forums/428821/suggestions/37144834

Please also note the reboot required alert is currently only when protection is impacted, or some other important actions are pending, e.g. competitor removal on initial install. A typical IDE update every few hours does not trigger this as full protection is maintained.
