What's new

You can configure KCS Portal to authorize a message that is sent using a restricted service before it is sent to the recipient. You can enable an authorizer so that when a user sends a message using a restricted service, the message is first sent to the authorizer and then sent to the recipient once the authorizer authorizes it.

The following enhancements are made:

• You can switch between image view and text view using the Image View button.
• You can include a text box, attachment, page break, or signature mark using the Insert drop-down menu.

• You can reorder the message blocks (text box, attachment, page break, and signature mark) in the message.

You can preview a message without opening it using the Preview pane. From the Preview pane, you can upload attachments, configure send options, and send the message. You can drag the Preview pane from the bottom or right side of the message folder window.

The Recurrence option has been added to the Send Options in the Message window displayed while composing a message. You can configure Recurrence to send a message periodically, such as weekly or daily.

You can select the Default Fax Service and Default Email Service for a user.

The default fax service is used when sending a message to a fax address, and the default email service is used when sending a message to an email address. If default services are not selected, the global default is used from the configuration file.

You can mark a read message as unread, and an unread message as read in the Inbox folder.

An option to select a time zone for a user has been added to the General tab in the user profile. The timestamp displayed in the user folders like inbox and outbox depends on the time zone selected. Irrespective of the system time, the timestamp displayed in the messages is automatically converted to the time zone set in the user profile.

You can resend a message or multiple messages from the outbox.

The Disk Usage feature has been enhanced with information about the memory used by user profiles and recipients.

You can enable Alerting to get alerts related to the KCS server, such as when the number of messages in a queue exceeds a configurable limit.

The inbound and outbound messages are numbered in series by the KCS server. You can have 26 number series from A to Z. For example, all the inbound fax messages can be numbered from TF0001 to TF9999. The series starts again after the last value, TF9999. You can access this feature in KCS Portal from KCS Administration > Number Series.

The login screen has been enhanced.

You can use the Memo feature to add information related to a message in the Inbox or Outbox folders.

You can now enter the "From" or "To" part of the From/To related filter criteria separately (Earlier, both From and To had to be specified simultaneously).

While creating or editing a user, you can click the Save & Close button to save the user details and return to the Users list. Also, after editing a user, the edited user is selected once you return to the Users list.

The following additional authentication options have been added to TC/LINK-SM, TC/LINK-MX7, and TC/Link-OC with the existing support for basic authentication with a configured user or password for outbound SMTP connections to Microsoft 365 and other mail servers that require SMTP authentication:

• Basic authentication with a variable user and password via Link Exit DLL

• OAuth 2.0 authentication

TC/LINK-MQ supports multiple queue managers using shared queues.

A new timeout registry key, TimeoutForAttachment, has been added to configure the timeout value for retries to read a linked attachment file while parsing the TCLINK-FI transaction file.
