Smart Labels - Ability to force refresh of ASSET based ones
Possibly create a new Smart Label category which is primarily asset based. In our situation we use the asset information to select extra packages which are visible to this machine in helpdesk and also during imaging. Being able to force refresh on asset only (ie labels which dont require any information from an inventory) smart labels would be great. It would mean that we could sell a license key to a student, select what ever it is as an available package and not have to wait for his machine to check in. It would speed things up quite a bit.…

Fix Logo Display on Login Screen
At present (v11.1), and since at least version 6, KACE SMA offers the option to upload a Console Logo used on both the login screen and the upper left of the console after login.
No matter the dimensions of the image you use, the logo is reduced to ~58 px tall in the console; this behavior preserves the logo's aspect ratio, and there is no abnormal distortion.
However, on the login page, there is a fixed-height CSS value set for the logo, which stretches or shrinks the image to 300 pixels tall. The width is a relative value of 100%…

Clickable links in Asset management
Item(s) in assets should be CLICKABLE links especially if the item(s) have pages/information related that is located on the KBOX.
This enables MUCH faster navigation when seeking information in the Asset database or within the kbox.

ISO 8601 yyyy-mm-dd date format
Version 7.2 appears to have removed the ISO 8601 date format of yyyy-mm-dd, as all of the English localisation options are only mm/dd/yyyy or dd/mm/yyyy. Please return the ISO date format as an option.
Part of the problem is that Canada uses all three date formats, even in different federal government departments, even though we adopted ISO 8601 in 1989, but the Canadian localization for dd/mm/yyyy isn't helpful.

Merge user accounts
https://kace.uservoice.com/forums/82699-sma-k1000/suggestions/2938682-ability-to-merge-users
this post was archived. I feel it should be re-visited as it would be a great QoL upgrade for those of us that work in enviroments with contractors that get converted, or in the case of company mergers.

Add the user name field to the patch schedule summary
When going over the patch schedule summary it would be really nice to be able to quickly track down a computer based on the user who is logged into it.

The pop-up in Chrome when logging into K1000 should be fixed
It is annoying to close that pop-up every time when a user logs into the admin site. If SM K1000 wants to become enterprise software, Quest should consider every UX detail.

Asset - Ability to make quick changes
A quick edit button which appears on hover for each individual field in the table view which you could use to make quick changes while still being able to view the information of all assets as a whole? This could tie into the bulk edit idea by Andrew to use one quick changed asset as a template for bulk changes.

Batch assign asset field values based upon smartlabel membership
It would be great to have an ability to create a smartlabel that identifies a group of machines, then use that smartlabel to assign a static value to an asset field for those machines.

Targeted Notifications
An easy method to use KACE to notify end users (pop-up) depending on the running processes/services on a device.
I.e. Send targeted outage notification for application (app.exe), KACE inventories and only targets these endpoints that are currently running app.exe.
Previous company I worked at had written an in-house app that looked at running processes (or any other identifier, services etc) and produced a pop-up notification that end users had to acknowledge (took focus) before continuing to work.
It could be used for general comms, change notice reminders, security event notification etc. Would be ideal if it could utilise smart labels…2 votes -
More granular control of what a use is shown on computer information tab
Our users find the information on the computer tab too detailed. Would like to be able to just show the first table, not software, hardware. . ..

Give the admin the ability to change the UI
The flat-look UI in 8.1 is a disaster. Who on earth thought it was a good idea to emulate Win10? The stark white with light grey is very hard on the eyes. Give the Admin the ability to revery to a proper colour scheme or even better the UI from 7.x.

Add functions to single select forms to sort custom values
Much like the query function for select fields, you should offer other functions like ASC: or DESC:
This way, if we have large, manual comma separated lists that we want to maintain in alphabetical order we don't have to find where new values are alphabetically and go plug it in the appropriate spot -we can just plug them on the end.
So if we have a list of cities that we service we could have the custom field entry be ASC: Columbus, Akron, Gallipolis, Dayton, . . .
And the form would default the drop down options to display as…
