      • Time-Based Notification Emails

        Add the ability to set notification rules based on the age of ticket, inactivity on a ticket, percentage of SLA used/left.

        Multiple people could be added to each rule, so managers could be notified when a task is not being attended to.

        • Having VIP option on Help Tickets

          I'd like there to be an option to escalate help tickets for a VIP.

          If a VIP of an organization calls in a help ticket, it's priority gets escalated by default, and/or be assigned to a technician or tech pool. This way, a VIP can get help ASAP.

          • Add "tagging" to tickets

            Such as with flickr and other websites.. if we are having a common issue we can tag a series of tickets with that issue such as "XYZ Database Error 44." Then when we resolve that issue, we can easily view that tag and close out all of those tickets, or look at the other tickets to see what information is common to them all to possibly help diagnose it. Another example would be a tag for "Confirmed bad monitors" - that way we could quickly pull up which tickets need monitor replacements without going into every ticket in the monitors… more

            • Previous & Next

              When looking at "My Tickts, when I click on a ticket number (say ticket # 99999), it would be nice to have a "next and/or previous" link to the next ticket. I'd imagine it would have to work with the filter function so the next ticket would be the next filtered ticket.

                • RSS for tickets.

                  The ability to have the list of open tickets viewable via RSS would be an excellent way to see what issues are outstanding for a given tech. These could further be subscribed to via any RSS-reader (like Outlook).

                  These would of course be linked back to the BWD itself.

                  • Add date/time field for last entry in a ticket to list view.

                    Add an optional field in the ticket view that shows the time and date of the last entry in a ticket. This would be helpful for sorting to tell which tickets haven't been tended to recently.

                    We work on a site rotation and could use this to quickly tell which tickets we have already worked on for that site on a particular day and which we still need to look at.

                      • The ability to report on each technician that updates a tkt

                        Often multiple technicians will do work on a ticket. When it's closed, the closing technician (or the one it was assigned to) gets "credit" for the work. I would like to see the ability to report on each ticket (regardless of whether they were the assigned technician or not) a technician provides support.
                        In other helpdesk systems, this has been accomplished by creating a new version of the ticket each time it's updated. Then, when querying for tickets, you can look at that table and see all the tickets "modified" by a particular technician. Right now, it looks like the… more

                        • Custom Fields specific to Class

                          When a user creates a new ticket and they select a problem type, ask users questions specific to that issue and record the responses.

                          This would work best when configurable by the site technicians/administrators (as opposed to a generic set of questions across all bigweb clients).

                          It would also be useful to help the helpdesk staff get information that the on-site technicians need.

                                  • allow for different levels of access for KB articles

                                    Some organizations would like to be able to segregate KB articles so people who should not be trying something can't get the instructions to do it. Preference would be to link access to the title of the person, ie, a helpdesk level 1 tech could not access titles that are marked only for helpdesk level 2 techs.

                                    • Ability for technicians to "checkout" of unassigned queues

                                      Fix the technician checkin/checkout function so that when a tech goes on vacation, all tickets going to unassigned queue don't get polluted with their "out of office" message.

                                        This should be fixed in the next few publishes. The user control that is now on the Create Ticket v2 and the Advanced Search is the control that will be used to fix this. Thanks for the suggestion!

                                        Occasionally, there are tickets that hold information that someone else needs. Sometimes these are closed, on hold, or still open. I think it might be beneficial if we were able to send someone a copy of the ticket documentation from within bigWebDesk. I know it’s possible to CC someone on the closure of a ticket, but in the meantime, we end up having to copy/paste, print to PDF, or send a copy of the htm, etc, if someone’s supervisor or the Exec Director wants an update on an issue.

                                        • Allow technicians to transfer tickets on hold to new queue

                                          Right now, when a technician transfer a ticket on hold to the new tickets queue it sets the status back to open.

                                          We would like to be able to place a ticket on hold and transfer it back to the queue. Often times there will be an approval pending or some action that we are waiting on someone to complete before we can do anything further with it. We don't neccessarily need to hang onto the ticket ourselves during this time.
