What’s new in Kickidler 1.79? Disabling functionality, restricting access in Viewer and more.

Today we’re updating Kickidler to version 1.79. And here's what's in store for employee monitoring software's users. 

First, we have considered many of our users' wishes and have made it possible to optionally disable some parts of the functionality of our program. 

Also Kickidler's version 1.79 will have the ability to restrict access to data in Viewers, the process of video uploading will be improved, and the interaction with the web interface of the Central Server will become even easier and more intuitive.

Limiting the collected information

Our program's updated, more flexible settings will allow you to choose what information about employees' activity you want to collect. It will become possible to disable some features of the program, such as Screen Video Recording, Remote Access, Keylogger.

You'll be able to disable the functionality regarding all employees at once or regarding only selected employees.

Note! If you disable the Keylogger functionality, the information about the keys pressed, which is necessary to generate reports on productivity and working time, will not stop being collected. The program simply stops recording which keys were pressed by the employee. When disabled, Keylogger will become unavailable in all program windows where keystroke history could be displayed. 

If you disable the Keylogger functionality, the information about the keys pressed, which is necessary to generate reports on productivity and working time, will not stop being collected. The program simply stops recording which keys were pressed by the employee. When disabled, Keylogger will become unavailable in all program windows where keystroke history could be displayed. 

Example of usage: The client wants to save server space and doesn't need to keep the video history of the employees' actions; they only want to collect statistical data.

Solution: Disabling Screen Video Recording functionality will help them save space on the server. 

Another example: The client doesn't want someone in the company to have hypothetical access to employees' personal data (e.g. credit card number, etc.). 

Solution: Disabling Keylogger functionality so that the employees' personal data is no longer visible in Viewers.

Restricting access to functionality in Viewer 

In addition to the option of partially disabling the data collection by Grabbers, our program will have the ability to restrict access for certain Viewers to the functionality to monitor the activity of selected Grabbers. This applies to such functionality as Online Monitoring, Screen Video Recording, Keylogger and Remote Access.

Example of usage: You want the head of department A to not be able to view the screens, videos of activity and keystroke history of department B's employees. However, management wants that person to be able to view the overall productivity and attendance statistics for other departments in order to compare them with the data for his own department. 

Solution: Limiting that person's access to specified functionality in regards of other department's employees while keeping his access to general reports.

Optimizing video downloading

We've improved the way users download videos from our software, and now the process will take even less time.
