This is a beta release of OTRS::ITSM 1.1. which is not recommended to use for productive operation. Beta releases are published for test purposes only. OTRS::ITSM is the first ITIL compliant IT service management solution on open-source basis. It is built on the solid fundament of 55,000 OTRS productive installations in 23 languages.

All functionalities known from OTRS continue to be available and the functionalities representing ITIL processes can be installed as additional packages. Enhancement: ============ * Authorization concept - each object: Service/SLA, Location, CI, Linkobject no create an own group, so the agents rights can be assigned more granulary. * Services can be assigned to authorized customers. Further more, services may be assigned as general 'defaultservices' which are valid for use for each customer. * A structured tree view on services & CIs including informations on each objects current status allows to analyse an incident and calculate the incidents impact on affected services and customers. * A service agent may search, select and assign any of a customers configuration items (CIs) while recording an incident ticket. * Configuration items (CIs) may now be imported and exported in a CSV file or by using the API * A huge variety of additional reports have been created, e.g.: - Total of all ever created tickets per ticket-type and priority; status; queue; service - Monthly overview of all ever created tickets of a previous month per ticket-type; priority; status; queue; service - Total of created tickets in a defined period per ticket-type and priority; status; queue; service - Total of all open tickets per ticket-type and priority; queue; service - Total of all configuration items (CIs) created in a previous month per class; per status - Total of all configuration items (CIs) created per class; per status - Total of all configuration items (CIs) created in a defined period per class; per status Much more reports have been added providing specific data regarding first time solution rate and average resolution time! - First time solution rate of all ever created tickets per ticket-type and priority; queue; service - First time solution rate in a previous month per ticket-type; per priority; per queue; per service - First time solution rate in a defined period per ticket-type and priority; queue; service - Average resolution time of all ever created tickets per ticket- type and priority; queue; service - Average resolution time in a previous month per ticket- type and priority; queue; service - Average resolution time in a defined period per ticket- type and priority; queue; service * Added print function for CIs, Services, SLAs, Locations * Added UnitTests to check the code quality * Added cache mechanism in General Catalog to improve performance * Use Kernel/System/Valid.pm instead of own valid functions in General catalog * Refactored code to improve performance and stability Known Issues: ============= * Bug #2725 - The Configuration Item (CI) import functionality denies import in certain cases.

[ http://bugs.otrs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2725 ] * Bug #2726 - When exporting a CI, in rare cases the internal ID is exported instead of the textual description. [ http://bugs.otrs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2726 ] * Bug #2727 - When using carriage return while recording a multiple line text description for a CI it might happen, that HTML code '<br>' is created. Printing that CI as a PDF then causes that the HTML code is printed as plain text at each lines end (where carriage return was used). [ http://bugs.otrs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2727 ] * Bug #2728 - The CI search function seems to ignore some search criteria, when multiple criteria are selected.
