Within your PSA, Traceless' pod operates similarly to our standalone application. As an additional resource, we've attached that standalone KB article here.


We'll use ConnectWise Manage for our demonstration. The Traceless podview will look similar no matter the PSA you utilize.

At A Quick Glance

Traceless' pod will look like the image above. As a user, you will have the following options:

Top Buttons

  1. MFA: Verify a user's identity through multi-factor authentication (MFA)

  2. Secure Data: Send or request secure data

  3. Secure Files: Send or request secure files

  4. Help Center (?): Access our Help Center or open a support ticket

Bottom Buttons

Request Data or Send Data: In the bottom righthand corner of your Traceless podview, you will have the option to 'Request Data' or 'Send Data'. The same options are available for transferring secure files.

Once you select 'Request Data' or 'Send Data', your podview will take you to the screen above, providing you with a secure link to the trace you just created.

Here, you may choose what method of delivery you would like using the dropdown menu. When you are ready to send your data, press 'Send Link'.

You also have the option to copy&paste the secure link provided and send it to your recipient that way.


A Deeper Look

Let's review these options more in-depth.

MFA

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) enables you to verify a user's identity through the method of your choosing.

Using the dropdown menu, you'll be able to send an MFA code through the method of your choice, depending on what integrations you implement:

  • Service ticket itself

  • Number on file

  • Email on file

  • Alternative SMS number

  • Landline

  • DUO Push

  • MS Auth Push

  • Okta Verify

*These options are subject to change

Secure Data

This is text-based data only

You'll notice that in the provided text box, an auto-generated passphrase will be displayed. Simply remove the text to write your own message. Or use the lefthand dropdown menu and select 'Blank Field.'

If you would like to regenerate a new passphrase, simple click the 'Secure Data' button again.

Optional Passcode: This feature allows you to add a personalized passcode. The recipient must input this passcode in order to access the trace itself. This is a separate feature from our password generator and solely for accessing the trace altogether.

Using the leftmost dropdown menu, you can select Dinopass with varying complexities, Traceless with varying complexities, or SHA256 which is another password generator. SHA256 stands for Secure Hash Algorithm 256-bit.

In addition, you will be able to customize your trace's time to live (TTL) using the rightmost dropdown menu.

In the bottom right corner of your Traceless podview, notice that you will have the option to either request data or send data.

Secure Files

This is file-based data only that must be uploaded

Drag and drop or upload a file to your Traceless pod to send data.

Optional Passcode: This feature allows you to add a personalized passcode. The recipient must input this passcode in order to access the trace itself. This is a separate feature from our password generator and solely for accessing the trace altogether.

Notice that your dropdown menu options have simplified from that of sending 'Secure Data'. You no longer have the option to customize your password auto-generation as it is no longer applicable. However, you will still be able to customize your trace's TTL.

You will be able to request or send files similarly to how you send data.

Help Center (?)

Next to 'Secure Files', you will see a button with a question mark.

Here, you'll be able to email Traceless directly and open a support ticket. Or you can access our help center and view our extensive knowledge-based (KB) articles!

Thanks so much!
