  1. Please enable feature to "filter CIR to run to certain devices"

    For CIR - though I chose specific Label, it is applied on all devices based on chosen OS. If I chose no Operating system but just the Label, it is not being applied at all.

    It is better to have an option to filter CIR to run on certain devices (labels) - this will help to test the CIR in first place on test device.
    Also will help to limit the CIR wherever we want it to run.

  2. Support for API Keys when enabling "Require SAML Login"

    It appears that when enabling "Require SAML Login" in Kace that the only way to access the API is with the built-in Kace admin account. That seems less than desirable and a security risk. It would be great to be able to create API keys to access the API where you could also control permissions for each set of keys.

    Considering that this box can push out software to all of your machines, we should want to make this access more secure and not have to use the Kace Admin account.

  3. customize user home page

    I would like to be able to customize the user portal layout, buttons, colors, and vocabulary. The current layout is not spaced very well. Everything looks cluttered. Users are also having a hard time with the quick actions button. It doesn't look like a clickable button until it is hovered over. I'd also like to be able to change the vocabulary inside. Same with entering a ticket. Save and Apply Changes are 2 different things. Can we just have a submit button?

  5. Software Inventory for snap packages (linux)

    Would be nice to see snap packages and other sandboxed apps appear in a device's software inventory.
    For Linux devices, we can see all traditional software packages, but snaps are missing and there's no way to see which ones are installed.

  8. Update Kace SMA without support renew.

    Is there any chance of you approve the possibility of us update our kace SMA without have a support contract renewed? I believe that opening to updates, not to support, just updating version, the kace community will be more satisfaction and with a great chances to make renew support license, once that they will need any time.

  10. I would like to be able to customize the Notification Pop-Up Window

    The Notification Pop-Up Window has an orange gradient. This causes some issues for people with Red Green Color Blindness. It would be useful allow customization to this behavior.

  11. Disable HTML format

    We use KACE in Dark Mode so after 9.1 upgrade all tickets being formatted in HTML has made the text extremely hard to read (black text on black background). There should be an option to format tickets so the text is always white (like before), or to disable HTML all together as we do not need it.

  12. Option to suppress "KACE SMA offboard backup is not enabled" message

    Please give an opt-in option to suppress the "KACE SMA offboard backup is not enabled" banner at the top of the home screen. While I understand the need and benefit of this feature, for users who are already utilizing a backup solution (such as Veeam), we may not wish to turn on the SMA offboard backup solution.

    It would be nice to have the option to suppress this message with a setting perhaps located on the backup configuration page, so users who already have an backup solution in place do not have to sacrifice screen space with the banner.

  13. Reply All Creates Duplicate Tickets

    When a user emails and creates a ticket if they put others on copy and the people on copy "reply all" it creates a duplicate ticket.

    I saw where someone else requested this 5 years ago. This is something that needs to be rectified. People are spending too much time hunting down duplicate tickets and merging them instead of actually being able to do meaningful work.

  14. View Smart Labels by Label Type

    As the number of smart labels grows managing them becomes more difficult. It would be very helpful to have the ability to narrow which type of smart label is displayed on the Smart Labels page (Home, Label Management, Smart Labels). A "View By" menu should be added to select, Device, Patch, etc.

  16. Keep history of child tickets viewable

    Once a child ticket is closed it disappears into the closed ticket black hole and disassociates itself from the parent and drops off the list of child tickets. We are always going back to all closed tickets to find the ticket that was once associated with the parent to see its history. Please add option display closed child tickets for a parent ticket if the child has been closed. We use this for task lists for projects and if all tasks disappear there is no way to view history of the project.

  17. Modify "Name" field under Operating System to "OS Name" or "Operating System Name"

    It just seems inconsistent that only the word "Name" is used for the "Operating System" subset, when "Name" is used by other interfaces/fields/columns for the system or asset name within the SMA. Renaming to "OS Name" or "Operating System Name" would be more consistent with other naming conventions within the SMA.

  18. Show total filesize of downloads needed for a specific computer

    It would be good to be able to look up a computer and see how many MB of software will be used for its next patch/update. For example, many of our computers are at very low bandwidth remote offices. If a computer somehow needs a large amount of downloads I do not want to push that out during the day because it would slow everyone else's connection at that office down. If I could look to see how much will be needed, I could delay that to a later time.

  19. "Last Inventory" field under Inventory/Devices

    Currently the font for this field turns red after a certain amount of time. Usually less than a day! It's not usually an issue if a device hasn't checked in for a day or maybe even a week. People take time off etc. Would be nice to adjust at what time interval the font turns red. In my case I wouldn't want anything less than a week to be red.

  20. Live Chat

    Build or integrate a live chat system into the SMA. Customers have the ability to contact KACE support via chat, why not have the same functionality for customers to communicate with their end users? Thanks for consideration
