  1. Asset permissions based on type

    It would be nice to be able to create a custom asset type and assign management of that asset to user labels. For instance, if I have fleet vehicles and would like to give management of those assets to our fleet department, I could create a user label for the fleet department and grant that label permissions to manage the asset types related to the fleet assets.

  2. Add an "Exemption" Feature for Computers I don't want Auto-Archived

    If we have multiple segments of users within an organize, for example: team members, Board members and contractors and all are provided a domain computer, however the frequency in which each computer will connect with KACE will be different upon their organizational role. For example if I set Auto-Archiving (MIA) to 120 days intended for the team members segment and Board members dont use their computers within the 120 days, their computers are then scheduled to be Auto-Archived because they connect quarterly or they are unable to Connect for an extended period of time. This then causes an issue because…

  3. For "Contracts" Feature please add "Yearly" notification option

    Currently for Software-Contracts the "Frequency" available are 15mins, 30mins, Hourly, Daily, weekly, and Monthly. However there is no "Yearly" option. Please add Yearly option.

    Also this can all be fixed if there is an option while creating a Software-Contract to add are Yearly Notification Feature and an automated email is sent to the POCs of that specific Software-Contract via the email, and in addition add a reminder for a month or two prior to contract expiration date. So that way the POCs connect with me directly and can provide me software-contract changes/modification and I can then work towards creating a…

  5. Ability to Update asset status via KACE GO mobile app

    There seems to be no way to update (or view) an asset's status in the Kace Go mobile app. This field also is missing from 'Create Asset.'

    Although I'm fairly certain this was there in previous versions, I was directed to a feature request. This seems like it should be one of the most basic features for Asset Management via the mobile app.

  6. Smart labels for assets

    I would like to see smart labels for assets that are not devices. This will make filtering and reporting a lot easier for customers that use asset management in large environments

  7. undo archive assets

    IDEA:
    Add Option to undo an asset from Archive, so it is edible again.

    Idea was made because of this problem:
    We made the assets automatically archive themselves, if the device (its kbot) does not report for a period of time, then comes a 2 week of pending, where it is possible to undo the pending, but as soon as the pending is over and the asset is archived, it is no longer possibe to do anyting except changing the Kace-premade funktions (like changing the location, status, …) nor to undo the archive

    Now i have alot of assets with…

  8. View by > No Subtype

    Add the option for viewing inventory items that do not have a subtype. The Advanced Search seems to not have the ability to filter out devices with a subtype using the built in operators including RegEx. At least it doesn't in Inventory.

  9. Ability to map the user (owner) of an asset to the asset when importing

    When importing a csv file of assets, I need to be able to assign that asset to an existing user. To do this manually is very tedious and time consuming.

  10. Ability to import existing data into new KACE fields

    For example, the Asset Status field that was recently introduced, we have been using our own custom field for this purpose and now cannot remove the built in field from an asset record, we should have the ability to transfer our data from the existing field to the new one or the ability to export and then import to the new field.

  11. We would like to suggest allowing the Kace Agent to show the asset type for servers instead of only computers.

    Currently our servers are showing with the asset type Computer under Assets.
    We had to create a sub-type called Server in order to differentiate the computer from the server.

  13. Asset import templates

    The ability to create a template which has field mappings set up would streamline the import asset process and reduce the chance of error in selecting the wrong field to map, for example prior to imaging with the K2000 we import new devices into our K1000 for naming etc. As each spreadsheet is from a separate school there are many identical imports, having a pre-determined template would save a lot of time.

  14. License Compliance module change for Server 2016

    Microsoft server 2016 is now licensed per core and you can buy a minimum 8 cores when you buy a license for Server 2016. In Microsoft volume license center you see quantity of 8. So If you buy a server with 6 cores the K1000 needs to know to use 6 cores of your 8 core license leaving 2 cores left to use for another server. If this change isn't made you will have to do manual calculations to figure out if you are compliant.

  15. Ability to run Custom Inventory Rule on a selected group of computers

    If a Custom Inventory Rule is generated in Software it is possible to specify the operating system that gets this rule. But it would also be useful to specify a label with the computers that should run that rule.

  16. Category Field in the Contract Asset Type K1000

    In Asset Management one of the types is "Contracts" the default contract categories are Contract-Software, COntract-Other, and Contract Hardware. I want to add another category of contracts and when I duplicated the Contract Software I found that I could not change the Category field. And the duplicated Contract was not part of the Contract Category. I would find it very useful to be able to change that category for that asset type.

  17. Software version search should be limited in one software title

    Currently when creating a label targeting computers with software "abc" that has a version "ddd", K1000 searches "abc" in all software titles, and searches "ddd" in all software versions, which is fundamentally wrong, and may give unexpected false positive. It should only search "ddd" in the versions of the software with title "abc".

  18. In the assets -> devices can you make it so the status field can be set to required?

    The new status field is great, can we have a checkbox to make this a required field? People add new assets and dont set the status is killing the point of asset management.

    As an admin, along with the ability to scan barcodes, I would like to be able to upload a picture of the asset's barcode image to the asset record directly from the app.
