If you select an OU in the left panel and then hover over an app, you'll see two options:
Off (override): This option turns off the app for the OU, overriding the ON/OFF setting made at the parent organization level.
Inherit: This option uses the ON/OFF setting designated at the OU’s parent organization level.
Alternatively, if you click into the details page of a specific app and go to adjust the ON/OFF setting to “On for some organizations,” you’ll see a new page layout that shows the service status with the option to change the setting. From there, you can easily click in the top left of the screen to navigate back to any of the previous pages in the Admin console.

With that in mind, the Device Policy app will now disable access to non-critical apps* on any work profile or company-owned Android device that it determines is non-compliant. Users will see a notification informing them that their device violated a security policy and some apps may be disabled. Those apps will be re-enabled when their device complies with all of the organization’s security policies.
*Non-critical apps are any apps that aren’t required for a device to function. For example, Dialer is a critical app, but Gmail is a non-critical app.

For this setting to work, users need to have the Google Device Policy app installed. Once the feature is turned on, users who don’t have the Device Policy app on their device will be prompted to install it. Once installed, the app will check if the device is jailbroken regularly, and notify the user if they pass or fail that check.
This setting should help G Suite admins and end users keep their organization’s data secure. For more details, visit the Help Center.

Communities Report for admins
For G Suite administrators, we've also added the ability to see all communities owned by members of your organization, sortable by metrics such as total members, active members, number of posts recently made, and more. In this report, which can be found in the Admin console by going to Reports > Apps > Google+ > Communities report, you’ll also be able to see the community’s “Visibility,” indicating whether or not it’s restricted to your domain.
You can choose to view either the last seven or 30 days worth of data.
As with our previous reporting additions, these metrics are available in both the Admin console and Reports API.

In addition, if you want to create a pivot table from scratch, Sheets can suggest a number of relevant tables in the pivot table editor to help you summarize your data faster.
*You can view pivot tables on all platforms, but you can only create and edit them on the web. **The “Answers” feature in Sheets is only available in English at this time.
Suggested formulas, quicker answers
We often use basic spreadsheet formulas like =SUM or =AVERAGE for data analysis, but it takes time to make sure all inputs are written correctly. Soon, you may notice suggestions pop up when you type “=” in a cell. Using machine intelligence, Sheets provides full formula suggestions to you based on contextual clues from your spreadsheet data. We designed this to help teams save time and get answers more intuitively.
Even more Sheets features
We’re also adding more features to make Sheets even better for data analysis:
Check out a refreshed UI for pivot tables in Sheets, and new, customizable headings for rows and columns.
View your data differently with new pivot table features. When you create a pivot table, you can “show values as a % of totals” to see summarized values as a fraction of grand totals. Once you have a table, you can right-click on a cell to “view details” or even combine pivot table groups to aggregate data the way you need it. We’re also adding new format options, like repeated row labels, to give you more fine-tuned control of how to present your summarized data.
Create and edit waterfall charts. Waterfall charts are good for visualizing sequential changes in data, like if you want to see the incremental breakdown of last year’s revenue month-by-month. Select Insert > Chart > Chart type picker and then choose “waterfall.”
Quickly import or paste fixed-width formatted data files. Sheets will automatically split up the data into columns for you without needing a delimiter such as commas between data.
These new Sheets features will roll out in the coming weeks—see specific rollout details below. To learn more about how G Suite can help your business uncover valuable insights and speed up efficiencies, visit the G Suite website. Or check out these tips to help get started with Sheets.
