New server behavior structure

In MXKollection 3, all server behaviors and commands are moved to be more easily reached. In addition, some features which used to be part of ImpAKT2 have been broken up into smaller modules: User Login, File Upload, Form Validation, and Send E-mail. So many server behaviors will now be under these different category headings. The full product list of MX Kollection 3 can be found on the Products page.

The table below contains a list of server behaviors from MX Kollection 2 and their corresponding names in MX Kollection 3.
