We’ve got something great to share with you: Konect 6.50!
In this release, we’ve added some great new features and functionality and have updated some of the existing ones. Konect Manager version 6.50 and Konect App version 6.50 will be released Tuesday 13th December 2022 after 5pm AEST.
Here’s what’s new…
Multi-factor authentication
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is now available across all Konect clients. This means your users will be able to use their phone number, email address, or even a software token such as Google or Authy to authenticate their logins and provide double security for their accounts.
Command line tools
The Konect command line tools have been rebuilt and include a KPK export and import feature. This means that if you need to move your database from one environment to another, or if you want to create a backup of all your configuration, it’s now easier than ever before.
Account management
Account managers will now be able to manage Konect API keys through the Konect portal. If you are an account manager, this self service option will make rotating keys much easier helping to protect your data.
Improved search
Several automatic field types can now be included in searches. Being able to search for values copied from a parent or a friendly tag or ID will greatly improve your team’s productivity.
Fixes and Updates
Konect App
- Calculated fields will now work with dependent visibility
- Fixed copy values not working inside large polygons while working offline
- Fixed an issue where syncing never returns complete if an offline project was revoked from the user
- Fixed an issue with high accuracy GPS positions being ignored
Konect Manager
- Fixed Konect installer when needing to install .NET 4.8
Following the release, when you first start Konect Manager you will be prompted to upgrade to the version 6.50. Organisations that require IT support for software installations will need to schedule the appropriate IT assistance to perform the update.
It is strongly recommended that all users upgrade to version 6.50 when prompted. However, the current version of Konect Manager will continue to run for 60 days.
As always, we’re working hard on ways to make Konect even better for you. If there are any features or ideas that you think would make Konect better, let us know—we’d love to hear from you!
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Stay Konected.
Regards, Russell and the Konect Team
