New Features in 1.7
===================
Version 1.7 includes several new features
Email Filters
-------------
As an upgrade from email banning (which is still supported), email filters
allow for matching incoming email in the subject line and message body. For
matching emails, the administrator has the ability to automatically route
tickets:
* To a specific department, staff member, and/or team
* Automatically assign ticket priority and/or service-level-agreement
* Disable ticket auto-responses
Canned Attachments
------------------
Attach files to your canned responses. These attachments are automatically
attached to the ticket thread along with the canned response. The
attachments are not duplicated in the database and therefore use virtually
no space.
Service Level Agreements
------------------------
Service level agreements allow for a configurable grace period based on the
department or help topic associated with the ticket. A default SLA is
provided, and a due date can be set to override the grace period of the SLA
for a ticket.
Client-side Knowledgebase
-------------------------
Manage a searchable help document portal for your users
Dashboard Reports
-----------------
Flashy reports of ticket system activiy as well as exportable ticket system
statistics, allowing for easy report generation from office spreadsheet
applications.
Ticket Export
-------------
Convert the ticket thread to a printed format for long term storage.
API
---
Interface with osTicket via HTTP requests. Starting with version 1.7,
tickets are createable by submitting an HTTP POST request to either
/api/tickets.xml
/api/tickets.json
