Fix asset creation API bug (api/asset/assets)
Attempting to create an asset in 11.1.263 using api/asset/assets returns success but returns no IDs and does not create an asset. Server Error log shows: AH01071: Got error 'PHP message: [2021-11-04 08:24:08 -0700] PHP Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /kbox/components/asset/api/src/API/Controllers/AssetController.php on line 446'
This was reported to support but they declined to look into it unless we hire them for consulting. API use is not supported for regular product use. It is only provided for use by consulting clients.

Chromebook Asset Inventory Import GSuite
When importing Chromebooks from GSuite, make it so it doesn't import deprovisioned chromebooks or add a way to sync only specific OU's or exclude specific OU's to prevent license overage.

Granular User Control for Asset Management
Posted at Virutal 2021 UserKon:
One feature that would make the Assets module more useful is being able to have more granular control over asset types and granting admin rights for certain asset types. For instance, IT people need access to the IT equipment, but if I wanted to allow a fleet management person to manage fleet assets, I can't control access to just those asset types, at least not that I am aware of.1 vote -
Integrate KACE Inventory with Jira
I wanted to use KACE, but unfortuantely we were forced into Jira. That being said. I'd like to see a way for Jira to integrate into KACE to some extent.
Specifically I'd like to see Assets in KACE be linked in some way to reporting users in Jira so we can just click a link to get to that users computer asset object in KACE.
Obviously some other integrations would be great too, but this I think would be a good one for me right now.

"Machine Actions" Button in Asset- and Contract-Items
In the general options it is possible to define "machine actions" in order to do a VNC-Remote Session for example.
Please "copy paste" this functionality also for Assets in Asset- and Contract-Management so that we can define Actions on the Asset or Contract page an run specific actions there...
Background: I would like to implement a dependency-visualisation for assets and contracts and need to call a tool which reads out the dependencies of the Configuration Item (CI) and visualizes them.
OR
Even better for us users, Quest implements a solution to visualize dependencies of Assets.
I wanted to use Graphviz…3 votes -
Dell Docking Station S/N or ST Retrieval Through WMI or Powershell
Hi Team, it would be nice to be able to get the servicetag or serialnumber of the Dell docking station through wmi or powershell. We are a dell shop here using Windows and i am faced with a tedious task of keeping our inventory up to date.
I am glad Command Monitor allows me to get the screens information. I just wish it would do the same for the docking stations. I think this would be a great feature to think about.
Thanks.

Usage of Select Queries for Custom Asset Fields
The Idea is not new: It would be very useful if we can use Select queries in Asset Custom Fields like we can use it in Servicedesk.
I think it shouldn´t be a big deal to "copy" this function from Servicedesk in Asset-Management.
Please implement this function!

Scheduled MIA
It would be helpful to be able to create a schedule and a run now for MIA in addition to the default on/off daily setting. We do a quarterly audit of AD and other management systems and would like to include KACE.

Asset History Needs to be more user friendly
Asset Management > Assets > Asset Detail: > Show all history.
This page needs to be updated to allow us to filter on specific events. The way it is now is just a plain text page sorted by Time Stamp which only seems to go back 3 to 4 months.The link reads "Show All History" which obviously isn't correct since it's really not "ALL" of it. If I want to see the history of a device and who it was assigned to from day 1, that should be in the list and be easily filtered on. Any other ticketing…

Asset Details to include Purchase details
When you click on Assets > There should be a place inside these details that we can enter the purchase information for a device. ie. Serial number, cost, date, warranty info.
The "Purchases" page does not have the necessary details needed for a Device.

license import
importing licensing asset information into kace is not its best functionality. I have over 700 records that are in need of updating and it appears the only way to get the software records updated it to do it 1x1 or make an unsuccessful attempt to import new records and delete the existing records. If this asset feature could be updated somehow to make managing assets easier that would be great

MIA option to purge inventory item only
There are many cases where a PC will go a long period of time without being inventoried, which will get caught up in the MIA dragnet, causing the asset to archive into a READONLY state. The end user could be a furloughed employee or the PC could simply be sitting in IT surplus inventory for redeployment. In any case, there are custom fields on the associated asset that may need to be updated, which will not be possible in an archived state. I'm requesting an option on the MIA screen to, "Delete inventory item only without asset archiving." This would…

Offline vba or other type of Inventory Tool
I would like to have an Offline vba script or something that does not have to be installed on a system to get the inventory data to an XML file. We have several machines that are not allowed network access or additional software on them. It would help in managing any changes on a periodic basis when updates to those systems happen. Then we can track any changes from the last scan.
It would be nice if the tool saved the XML file to the same location that the tool is run from. Such as USB drive, Desktop, etc...

Configuration Management and CMDB
Since KACE SMA contains most of our assets, I was wondering if there could be a new module for the management of Configuration Items as part of the Configuration Management Process. This will allow to go further in the asset management and simplify change deployment.
This new module should allow to create a CMDB, which goal is to :
- Define Configuration Items with customizable linked attributes (Requirements, support, status, version, etc...)
- Define dependancies relation between Configuration Items
- If a change is required, be able to display every dependancies from a Configuration Item in order to identify risks…10 votes
