Root path for ticket attachments, such as \\SERV01\Attachments.

You can store attachments with a ticket. Specify the path to the attachments directory in the Helpdesk | Attachment | RootPath configuration parameter. When a ticket is saved, a directory is added that is named by the internal ticket number.

Edit the configuration parameters in the Designer.

To edit an attachment

  1. In the Manager, select the Help desk category and select a filter.

  2. Select the ticket in the result list and run the Attachments task.

    This opens the attachment directory. You can add, show, and edit files in this directory.

Creating and displaying ticket history

In order to follow though incoming tickets, a history is available which shows each step in the help desk procedure and the measures that were taken.

Prerequisite
  • In the Designer, set the Helpdesk | TroubleHistory configuration parameter.

    The ticket history is written only if this configuration parameter is set. An entry is created in the ticket history for each action.
