OptimaDESK Features
Customer Portal
-
Profile
Every customer registered on the portal will have a personal profile, where they can store their contact details, set their preferences and update their password.
-
New Tickets
Customers can log new tickets on the OptimaDESK Customer Portal, either as an unregistered or a register customer , depending on how the platform is configured.
-
Ticket Status
Customers can check the status of the tickets they have logged, respond to support team replies and update, close or re-open tickets.
-
Knowledgebase
Answers for Frequently Asked Questions can be made available in the Knowledgebase of the portal to provide self-help answers for internal or external customers to more common issues.





Agents



-
Profile
Each Agent has a profile where unique preferences, such as enabling two-factor authentication, timezone and language preferences, ticket view settings and email signatures can be configured.
-
Departments
Tickets are routed through Departments. Each Department can have a Department Manager, a specific SLA and Schedule, a default email address, sub-departments and certain access permissions for Agents in that Department.
-
Teams
Agents from various Departments can be assigned to a Team, which addresses tickets for a specific issue or Help Topic.
-
Roles
To grant Agents access permissions to Departments, Roles can be configured with several role permissions, for example create, edit, refer, close or delete, for both Tickets and Tasks.
Tickets
-
Ticket Filters
Incoming tickets can be routed and actions can be triggered by using Ticket Filters. Actions like rejecting tickets, assigning tickets to departments or agents and sending auto responses can be fully automated.
-
Assign, Transfer and Referral
Tickets can be assigned to a specific agent or team of agents, or tickets can be transferred between departments. When referring tickets, view-only access can be maintained for transferred or re-assigned tickets.
-
Auto Responder
The Auto Responder can be configured to send automatic replies for incoming tickets. The automated replies can be populated with information from the ticket to personalise the outgoing response, as well as customised for each department.
-
Help Topics
Help Topics ensure incoming tickets are routed to exactly the right department, have the appropriate priority level set, have the correct SLA applied and that adequate information is received so that the ticket can be swiftly resolved.




Tasks



-
Ticket Tasks
One or more tasks can be linked to an open ticket and assigned to a department and/or an agent. Tickets with linked tasks can only be closed once all linked tasks are closed.
-
Standalone Tasks
Agents can create standalone tasks, that is tasks which are not linked to a ticket. Task visibility is set by department and/or agent and due dates can be set to help with task tracking.
-
Task Assignment
New tickets can be assigned to a department and/or an agent and existing tasks can be transferred and re-assigned, while maintaining referral access for the original department or agent/team.
-
Collaborators
External users, for example customers, can be added to tasks as collaborators. Collaborators will then get notified of task updates, although they don't have access to the task (nor the linked ticket) in the OptimaDESK portal.
Advanced Configuration
-
Service Level Agreements
Different SLA's can be configured, using customisable schedules and grace periods, to track tickets and ensure there is escalation for overdue tickets. Specific SLA's can be created for and linked to departments and/or help topics.
-
Email
Unlimited email accounts can be configured to receive incoming emails, which are converted to tickets, as well as to send outgoing emails such as ticket responses and alerts. There are pre-configured email templates available but customisaed templates can also be setup.
-
Plugins
Various plugins are available for OptimaDESK, such as OAuth2 Authentication, Two-Factor Authentication, Audit Log, Password Policy, LDAP & Active Directory, Attachment Storage on the Filesystem and HTTP Pass-Through.
