Location Auto Assignment via Subnet
We would like to auto assign locations to new devices based off subnet when the Kace agent is installed vs manually assigning. We have Smart Labels setup by locations so if you could tie it to the location assignment that would be a great feature. This would keep location data up to date. Service Request # 4751029

Allow archiving based on labels. e.g. archive every week if label=="nonpersistent"
We have virtual devices that. by design, cease to exist when the person logs out. But we like to have Kace on them to keep track and collect the overall clone state as well as maintain an accurate inventory.
We manually delete those devices in Kace every couple of days to clean things up but can't find a way to script that process. We can't use the archiving feature because we have mobile teams abroad that don't reconnect to the Kace SMA for months at a time. Those devices still exist and will report in again so we don't want…

Ability to Change Asset Type Name Field Properties
It would be useful to be able to edit the properties of the NAME field within an Asset Type. For example, make it required, make it a single select field, default value, etc.

Allow the option to hide categories in the category drop down.
Allow the option to hide categories in the category drop down.
I don’t want to delete them. I just want to hide them. Seem like such a simple functionality. Even Bridge track had this back 10 years ago
Thank you,

A direct access to the provider menu in Asset management
We usually access the asset management menu in order to search for a provider. Each time we have to do a selection in the submenu Asset Management › Assets > Provider.
Can't we have a direct access from the Asset Management root folder ?1 vote -
Automatically split multiple license entry into individual licenses
Sometimes on needs to tie an individual license to either a device or a user.
To individually enter each separate license is a nightmare to do either manually or using bulk import, especially where one has hundreds or thousands of entries to input.
There should be a way to automatically duplicate the licensing information according to the quantity entered in the first record.
For example, a button to press that says "convert to individual licenses"
The routine would
1) look at the quantity
2) automatically duplicate the existing record the correct number of times
3) Listing the quantity for each…2 votes -
Display all "assigned to" assets in user record
Currently, if you go to a user's record, it will show all associated devices and "associated assets", but ONLY if you have added a custom field of "user" to the asset. There is the built-in field in assets of "assigned to", it would be nice to have the user record display anything that has their name in the "assigned to" field in an asset to eliminate the need to duplicate data.

Ability to automatically assign an asset to a location based on IP address range.
It would be nice to have the ability to apply IP address ranges to a location so it'll automatically pull in all assets in that range.

Inventory a standalone (non-network) kiosk type of Windows computer from a USB drive & upload the inventory through the K1000 web interface.
To track assets as well as patch and bios version information for standalone (non-network) kiosk type of Windows computers in the K1000 it would be very useful to inventory such computer from a USB drive with an inventory executable & upload the inventory results via the K1000 web interface. It can be challenging to maintain inventory information (hardware, software, firmware versions) for devices that are never or almost never connected to a network. This would help prioritize asset security efforts by being able to see the inventory for such devices.

Radial button to select duplicate detection method
Option button to force appliance to use only KUID for duplicate detection on appliance instead of duplicate detection criteria
Enabling the radio button would use only KUID for SMA to detect if it already exists in the assets. Option not enabled would use current detection method for duplicates.

Asset import delete file after import
The new scheduled asset import is great, but would be better if I could have the option to delete the file from the share/FTP site after it successfully imports the data.

Add multiple items to "Purchases"
I would like to be able to assign multiple assets to a single "Purchase". That way when we buy consumables / Hardware / etc... we can add the entire purchase to one PO rather than generating a PO for every item.

The ability to delete built-in asset subtypes.
New in v 9, they provide built-in subtypes for printers. We don't asset tag printers so we don't need those subtypes, but I'm not able to delete them or even edit them to remove the printer-specific fields to make it usable.

For the Asset Management Section, save/create fields that are pulling information from "Device"
The asset management section where all the assets are kept. I am currently pulling information from computers that has the agent with all the hardware information into the assets section. Those are reading from Inventory>>Devices.
The idea behind this is to let the hardware data save in the asset section with out typing it in , and if the agent was to get deleted. And those info is populating from what the agent is pulling from the computer.
When the agent is removed from the computer, there is not any details in the asset management section about the device. It…

Create smart label based on Asset Status
It would be helpful to create a smart label based on Asset status. For instance, we could target assets/devices with the "missing" status and run a script against that label that pushes stronger security to it, like complete lockout.

Allow items to be marked as in storage and have the KACE agent license removed but keep all information about the device in assets.
When items are sitting on a shelf in storage it would be nice to remove the agent as it is not being used and to also still be able to see the previously inventoried items similar to what you can see after you archive a device. This helps techs know what's on the shelves and if they can be re-purposed or need to be upgraded before reuse.

Data Validation on Asset entry
There is validation available for tickets via approver.
We find that our techs make a lot of errors in data entry and we need validation rules for asset management, that we define. Which prevents data entry with bad data.
Thanks.

Asset Management (Purchases) - Purchase Grouping, More Fields, Reporting & More!
Hello. I think it would be awesome if multiple items could be added to a Purchase. It would also be great if there were fields for taxes and fees. Also having a total column would help identifying purchases when it comes time to budget. Currently I do not see any reporting for purchases. As an IT Manager, it would be awesome to have the ability to run reports to see what you have spent with a specific Vendor for specific date range. What would take that even further is the ability to run a report for a location. Say our…
