Set category and sub-section of an article while cloning

When a KB article is cloned, the user can choose the category and sub-section to which the cloned article will belong right away. This will ensure that the cloned version directly lands on to the right folder. If needed, users can change the category and sub-section later.

Set agent's idle timeout in hours

Idle timeout allows admins to set the time until which agents can remain idle after which their status will automatically change to offline. Earlier idle timeout was set only in minutes, now we have provided the option to set it in hours too. A maximum of 8 hours 55 minutes can be set as the idle time.
