Service Desk is the default name for the end-user trouble-ticket tracking system that is part of the appliance User Console. The Service Desk enables end users to submit trouble tickets through email or through the User Console, http://<appliance_hostname>/user, where <appliance_hostname> is the hostname of your appliance. Your help desk team manages these tickets through email, the Administrator Console, http://<appliance_hostname>/admin, or the KACE GO app. You can customize the categories and fields associated with tickets as needed. See About Service Desk.
single sign on for the Administrator Console and User Console
Single sign on enables users who are logged on to the domain to access the appliance Administrator Console and User Console without having to re-enter their credentials on the appliance login page. See About single sign on (SSO).

Smart Labels are applied to and removed from managed devices when the appliance processes device inventory. So if you create a Smart Label that enables metering on devices, it might take time for the Smart Label to be applied to devices and for devices to report metering information. Metering is enabled for devices that match the Smart Label criteria only after devices are inventoried and the Smart Label is applied.

See Managing Smart Labels.

The connection to Quest Support. The tether enables Quest representatives to connect to your system for troubleshooting. See Enable a tether to Quest KACE Support.

Uncataloged applications are executables that are in the inventory but that do not appear in the Software Catalog. You can view applications that are listed as Uncataloged on the Software Catalog page. However, you cannot enable metering for Uncataloged applications, mark them as Not Allowed, or add license information for them. Uncataloged applications must be added to the local or public Software Catalog before they can be metered, marked as Not Allowed, or associated with license information. See Uncataloged applications.
The User Console is the web-based interface that makes software, scripts, and other downloadable items available to users on a self-service basis. It also enables users to access Knowledge Base articles and to file Service Desk support tickets to request help or report issues. To access the User Console, go to http://<appliance_hostname>/user where <appliance_hostname> is the hostname of your appliance. See About Service Desk.
