Dear OTRS dev members. I am new here and not yet sure what to expect of it. My company is using OTRS for almost 3 years now and we think it is great. I am the main application manager and I tried to make some modifications to the webpage that displays the dashboard but all modifications I made were, after a few minutes, overwriten with the defaults again. What makes this happen? My modification, or at least attempt, was to show queue names in the escalated ticket section so people could see which ticket belonged to what queue that was escalated. We have agents that are in the same group but not responsible for the same queues in that group so it would be nice if they could see, in the dashboard, that they have escalated tickets without the need of going through their queues. We are working for 1800+ users with 5 corporate support agents so everything that helps in speeding up the process in handling escalated tickets is welcome J Is this a feature that might be implemented in new versions by the way? That would be great. And is anyone familiar with the fact that when you give somebody read only rights and rights to create tickets but no full access rights they can create tickets but after that do not see it in the queue? Actually, they don't see anything in OTRS, not even the queues.? This could also be a support question of course but I expect it to also being a dev question. If I am wrong please let me know. Thanks.

See the attached about your Queue name in the dashboard... also, about
your changes being reverted. Empty our your cache dir. Usually under
var/tmp. There's also a script to empty your cache as well. You might
also want to restart apache just for good measure. Goodluck!

Dear Daniel,
You just made our OTRS experience a lot better J
Before this the dashboard was nice but did not have a lot of added
value. Now is does!
Thank you very much for your advice and dtl file. It is working like a
charm!

Beste Danny,
First of all, welcome to the OTRS community!
About the dashboard question, if you'd modify the
AgentTicketDashboardGeneric.dtl file in otrs/Kernel/Output/HTML/Standard
to look like this (around line 50:)
....
<td>$QData{"Queue"}</td>

This is great! And at the same time a little embarrassing because I did not find the ViewAllPossibleTicket option myself. But great nevertheless J
Thanks so much for your help. We are implementing OTRS to our regional offices and we really needed read only access. Most of the ICT responsible agents need to see tickets and learn from them but it’s not yet sensible to have them reply on tickets.
I just received another mail about the queue view in the dashboard and it was slightly easier to implement that but I want to thank you for your fast reply. I hope I can be as valuable to this community as you were to me.
