KIX 18.30
NEW OPTIMISATIONS & FUNCTIONS FOR YOUR SERVICE MANAGEMENT
New change log for contact/organisation data
If contact or organisational data is created or changed by service employees, this can now be documented and evaluated in a change log. If the change is made automatically, the system user is the editor.
Benefit: Traceability of data changes
- This function is particularly relevant when manual changes are made to contacts and the person who made the change needs to be recorded.
- Benefit: better traceability of past data

Latest updates in the admin area
More flexibility in rights management through "mini-admins"
It is now possible to define so-called "mini-admins", e.g. to entrust users with the administration of FAQ categories or text modules without them requiring full admin rights.
Benefit: System maintenance and configuration can be distributed to several suitable users without assigning too many or too far-reaching authorisations.
- Time-saving ticket automation thanks to extended placeholders
- With extended placeholders, ticket automation can now be mapped based on the properties of the contact/report or the affected assets. In the past, this information first had to be entered in an additional dynamic field on the ticket, which resulted in significantly longer processing times.
- The placeholders can be used very flexibly in the configuration of templates, actions, text modules, notifications and macros.
- Simplified email assignment and ticket creation for your teams
Team email addresses can now also be used for the assignment of incoming messages. Different address fields in an incoming e-mail determine in which team the ticket is created.
Benefit: Simplified automated assignment of tickets without the need for additional configuration of email filters
- Configure job automations directly in contacts
Automated tasks, which are mapped as "jobs", can now also be configured in contacts.
Benefit: Automation of macros on the "Contact" business object

UX/UI "Miscellaneous"
- The WYSIWYG editor in KIX is now much clearer and easier to use. Previously, the editor was delivered with a large number of active tools under Settings as standard. The new, more streamlined version is now noticeably more user-friendly.
- If there is an error when sending an e-mail, the service employee who created the article will now be informed of the error in their notifications. Emails rejected by the mail server can now be recognised, corrected and resent more easily.
- With version 18.30, KIX admins can now also access icons from the Font Awesome library when managing settings that enable the upload of icon graphics. This makes it easier to maintain settings without having to create or obtain graphics yourself.
- To check whether passwords have been entered correctly, password input fields can now be switched to plain text.
- Greater flexibility in input fields for multiple selections:
- (1) The "Select All" button marks all options, but does not make a selection
- (2) The "Select" button accepts the selected options into the selection, but leaves the input option open to make further filter selections
- (3) The "Apply" button accepts the selected options into the selection and closes the input option. Clicking outside the selection area has the same effect as "Apply".
