BMS (v4.0.31) - 28 March 2020
This release includes enhancements and fixes.
Release Highlights: Automated ticket remediation is now possible with the ability to execute agent procedures during Service Desk workflow. Also, quotes can now be completely customized.
Enhancements
VSA Integration
VSA Agent Procedures can now be executed from workflow rules. For example, if VSA monitoring creates a ticket with "Disk space low" in the description, the workflow can automatically execute a VSA agent procedure to clear temp space. Leveraging the power of service desk workflow and agent procedures, the possibilities are unlimited. A record of the agent procedure execution will be recorded via ticket activity notes, and will also be shown in a new ticket audit log. You can also drill into the VSA agent procedure execution log directly from the ticket. A historical log shows a record of all agent procedures that were executed by workflow; this log includes the workflow name, agent procedure name, and ticket number.
BMS Finance
Want to get your quotes looking just the way you want them? You now have unparalleled flexibility to do just that. Similar to invoices, quote layouts and formats can now be completely customized leveraging the power and flexibility of the Ad Hoc reporting engine. There is no need to build custom quotes from scratch: the quote templates that were previously available have been reimagined as Ad Hoc templates which can be found under the 'System' folder in Ad Hoc reports. These templates can be used as-is, or they can be copied to the Public Reports folder where they can be customized. Using the Ad Hoc reporting tool you can tailor the quote templates to match your brand by formatting borders, fonts, text & background colors, bold, italic, and more. You can also configure quote templates to show just the data you want your clients to see by adding text and data fields to header, line-item, and footer areas.
BMS Authanvil (Passly)
The legacy AuthAnvil(Passly) authentication integration can no longer be activated. In those cases where it has been previously activated, the legacy integration will remain active; however, Kaseya recommends using SAML SSO to integrate with AuthAnvil(Passly).
