Overview

Most of this functionality is to enhance customer interactions with Artifacts, Instances, and Stores - so if you haven’t already read about these features within KOS, check out this article:

New Features

  1. Market Manager:

    • Overview: The Market Manager is a new tool for KOS vendors who offer artifacts to other vendors in our Artifact Marketplace.

    • Note: Only vendors registered to sell or offer Market Artifacts will have access to this tool.

    • Key Benefits:

      • Vendors can now publish their apps as working artifacts in the KOS Marketplace

      • Applications and features can be made available to all KOS users or a select subset of users within the Market

      • This feature facilitates broader distribution and access to valuable tools, enhancing the overall ecosystem

  2. Artifact Manager:

    • Overview: The Artifact Manager provides a comprehensive solution for managing artifacts and their instances within KOS.

    • Key Benefits:

      • Allows Admins to manage Artifacts and their instances, such as device admin UIs

      • Admins can update descriptions, control access, and manage the lifecycle of these artifacts, including deprecating and deleting older instances

      • Supports multiple versions and variants of artifacts, streamlining the development and deployment process

  3. Artifact Browser:

    • Overview: The Artifact Browser offers non-admin users a detailed view of available artifacts and their instances without compromising security.

    • Key Benefits:

      • Provides detailed visibility into the artifacts and their instances accessible to non-admin users

      • Ensures the integrity and security of artifact details and definitions

      • Enhances transparency and usability for users needing to understand the available resources without administrative access.

These features are designed to make KOS Studio more powerful and user-friendly, enabling better management, distribution, and usage of artifacts within the KOS ecosystem. We hope you enjoy these enhancements and look forward to your feedback.
