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
