Hi,

This looks like the module I'm looking for, I'm a Computer Consultant and have been looking for something like this for a few months now.

What I like about this module so far is.... the "Hour Bank"

A question I have about the Hour Bank and logging of tickets is can each ticket be updated with hours / partof used as the ticket progresses? or is the hours only charged when the ticket is finally closed??

 

A feature which would make me buy this module would be:

Ability to Auto create an Invoice with Full references to the "helpdesk/support requests" produced and emailed to client when the hour bank reached zero... Also included in the auto generated email a "paypal" BUY MORE HOURS type button..

 

A second feature also:

The ability to have an option to email in helpdesk requests - having these filtered via a "whitelist" of accept these emails only would be awesome!

 

Keep up the great work Guys n Gals :)

 

PS.  is there a Demo verson or a Trial version of the Support Module available?

Hi Daniel,

I had the same idea, to have the possibility to put an amount of time on each reply, but when I did develop this module I found that was better to only charge time when you close the call.

Why?

You cannot charge by minute, the amount of time to charge is based on a 15 minutes package.

Why?

Easy, by doing that I don’t receive call for every question the client has.

 

The ability to have an option to email in helpdesk requests.

This option looks complicated to me, because I need to catch an email into a mail server that I don’t have information about.

 I’ll need to modify the mail server to do an action when he receives an email to a specific mailbox.

That’s the only way I can think of, maybe an easier way to do it exists, but I don’t know it.

No trial version right now.
But the trial is on his way.
Regards
Francis

Hi Francis,

Thankyou for your quick reply,

Some support tickets can last a month or two, and can rely on third party support personnel.  When I go and close a ticket, I do not necessarily remember how much time I've spent over the past month or so... it is essential to keep a running total of this.

Email in helpdesk requests:

I would have thought something like a configurable mail server input ie, servername/IP address, account, password - similar to what outlook does to collect the mail.
Then only import the emails from clients - maybe a simple "if email address exists from user database then import", "if not then skip".

End of bank hours report / invoice?

you didn't mention this in your last post - is it a feature that is already implemented?
- maybe a simple report, showing how the bank hours were used and can be exported to .csv or pdf something usable to create an invoice / report from.

 

I really like the look of this support module so far, but would require these features to make it usable.

Thanks for your comments,

Daniel Pustelnik.

Hi Daniel,

Your right I forgot the invoice part.

Right now no I don’t provide this feature, but after 2 months working with the module I can tell you that I’ll add this feature for sure.

For the email you got a really good idea, I didn’t think about this solution.

I’ll add this feature, but for me it’s not a priority.

For the amount of time on every reply, I agreed it can be useful, what I can do it’s a box that you will be able to put an amount of time that you past on the reply.

And then when you will be ready to close the call it will be easy to see a approximation of time you past on the call.

Hi Francis,

Thank you for your reply,

Time per reply - Could this be entered by this box, and be kept tallyed up automatically - so at invoice time, one just needs to see the automatically generated total.

"The Invoice" @ "end of Bank Hours" - a summary of requests and time spent per request, I think all that is needed for this.

Email in - I feel that this is a necessary requirement personally, and I would be willing to help with any testing that you may require. - ie, email server or what ever you may need.

I have enjoyed talking with you, would you mind flicking me an email when it's ready,

I look forward to purchasing your product.

Kindest Regards

Daniel Pustelnik

Hi Daniel,

Sorry I didn’t see your reply.

Time per reply will be used for reference only for the administrator before closing the call.

When you will close the call you will assign the amount of time you worked on the call, and this value will be take for the report.

For sure when I’ll be ready to go back on the project I’ll let you know.

Best regards
