There needs to be Kace "Certification" available personnell for personnel operating Kace Solutions. A Kace Certified Administrator (KCA)
Employers like certifications. When you are looking to hire a new employee or when you are evaluating the work of a current employee, their industry certifications are a major factor. Training (like at the Kace Konference) could be the basis for these certifications, with testing at course end to verifiy learning. Employers and Employees would both benefit, as well as would Kace, as certified personnell are some of the best testimonials/advertisements for products and solutions.

A Best Practice Guide - For K1000
Would be nice to have a best practice guide on implementing the K1000.
I think its important for Kace to have a baseline for customers to work within.I found it rather difficult in the early stages of our kace implementation the responses i would get from different members of kace. I also think this might get kace support team on the same playing field. I often find i get a different answer every time i ask the same question. When im trying to achieve the one objective.
Had we had this from the start i think it would of…

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.

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.

Make dashboard clickable for detailed information
Make the widgets on the dashboard clickable for more detailed information. For instance, clicking on the Connections would take you to a screen that only shows actively connected machines, Critical Patch Compliance would bring up a list of the computers that need patched, or Expiring Dell Warranties would display a list of computers with expiring warranties.

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.

Close the gap between macOS release date and support date on the KACE appliances.
The supported date of MacOS systems on the K1000 and K2000 is far too long after Apple releases a new OS. This prevents some adoption of the tools and hampers the ability to support systems in environments. .

Allow multiple criteria for advanced searches & smart labels
When creating advanced searches & smart labels, the way it structures the queries is such that each line is a separate select. That means it searches for each line, then combines the results. So if I am looking for devices with software package A version 1.0, I would think that having a two line search, the first for software title = A and the second for software version 1.0 would get it. But since it does each line separately and combines the results, if a computer has software A version 2.0 and software B version 1.0 it will match even…

Making an addition the the site that adds the Ticket number to the browser tab.
Making an addition the the site that adds the Ticket number to the browser tab. This way if you have a couple of different tickets open at the same time in your browser you have some indication of which one is which, rather than just having to click through them to get to the one you want. Ticket title would also be good but obviously the space is very limited.

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

Customize the Dashboard Shortcuts
Have the ability to Customize the Dash board with a shortcut to any of the areas in the K1000. Example: An Administrator want to go have a Shortcut to Tickets, Knowledge Base, and Assets. This way the admin does not need to browse around to find the area they are looking for.

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.

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.5 votes -
Allow archived user deletion from the choose action menu under the user page
We periodically clean up archived users out of the user menu. Right now we must manually open each user and click "Force Delete" for each one. We usually have hundreds of these to do at a time and it would be beneficial if we could use advanced search to filter out archived users and then simply select them with a check box and use Force delete from the choose action menu.

Patches Sections
We need a section on the KBOX Service Center website that would display all the patches avaible for the K1000 and K2000 with a description of what it will be fixing.
