  1. Option to Run Scripts at Inventory Check-In

    I would like to see the function added to be able to set a script to run when machines check-in for Inventory. This would be much like the way the Managed Installs work, instead of having to schedule the script, or monitor for when the machines check-in.

  2. desktop shortcuts

    Under scripting the crate desktop shortcut wizard should allow you to choose from a list of available icons to assign to the shortcut or to select your own custom shortcut icon.

  3. Script Deployment: multiple label selection change to AND rather than OR

    When selecting labels for "Limit Deployment to Selected Labels" it would be helpful to be able to select whether or not the deployment should go to any machine with any of the labels, or only machines that have all the labels. The only way around this right now is to create labels based on labels, which is messy since we currently don't have the rights to remove labels.

  4. delete files uploaded to KBOX by script

    When files are uploaded to the KBOX by script, they are stored in 'inventory>computer selected>software>uploaded files' . There isn't an option to simply remove this uploaded file when it is of no more use. There should be a small 'X' next to the file name to remove this file at all times in case the IT administrator no longer needs said file.

  5. Change the behavior of cancel in run now

    The problem with the cancel option in run now for scripts is the cancel button runs the script, just without any saved changes. This is not what cancel means.

    Open a script:
    Change target machine

    Click Run Now.

    You receive a pop up window that says: "There are unsaved changes to this
    page; OK to Save before running, Cancel to Run Now without saving."

    This can lead to a huge headache, for example.

    There are three computers, A, B and C.

    Last time I ran the script, I targeted machine A.

    Now I want to target machine C, however I…

  6. wait

    When scripting, it would be useful to have a pause/wait feature. Similar to the start /wait functionality in a batch file, this would be helpful in online kscripts.

  7. Create a machine label from PCs that failed a script run

    If I do a script "Run Now" on all PCs in the organization, and a handful of those PCs fail, it would be nice to be able to build a machine label from that list of PCs so I can re run the script on just those PCs that failed to run the first time.

  10. Machine count added to the run now ok message dialog box

    When running a script using the run now button on pop up message that says are you sure you want to run this script now could you maybe display the total number of machines that are about to get the script run against it. I have to assume other users have accidentally left a label attached to an old script and had to perform some clean up after it was to late.
