Ticket solution time in reports
by Astner Johannes 21 Jan '10

Hey community, I want to include the solution time per ticket in the report but I don't know how to do this/if it's possible. If I use the existing reports I only get a date in the solution time field. Office hours should be integrated in the solution time. Johannes

Notification Tags <OTRS_*
by Steve Yarmie 21 Jan '10

21 Jan '10

Hello, When building Notifications using "<OTRS_*" tags, results for the same tag differs depending on the event generating the Notification, or else they just return empty. This has made it difficult to figure out which tag to use. For example, the following tags all come up blank in a NewTicket Notification: <OTRS_CUSTOMER_DATA_UserFirstname> <OTRS_CUSTOMER_DATA_UserLastname> <OTRS_CUSTOMER_DATA_UserLogin> <OTRS_CUSTOMER_DATA_UserCustomerID> <OTRS_CUSTOMER_DATA_UserEmail> while <OTRS_CUSTOMER_REALNAME> evaluates to the "realname" of the Post Master address, e.g.: "OTRS Help Desk". The very same <CUSTOMER_DATA_* tags return perfect data when the notification type is AddNote (the customer's first name, last name, etc. appear as expected). One would think that tags with names such as "CUSTOMER_DATA_*" that we would be referring to the Customer's information in the database, and the same tags should work consistently regardless of the type of event generating the Notification. Besides the following links, has anyone found more accurate or complete documentation on how to use this high level API with OTRS-2.4.x? http://faq.otrs.org/otrs/public.pl?Action=PublicFAQ&ItemID=70 http://faq.otrs.org/otrs/public.pl?Action=PublicFAQ&ItemID=186 Many thanks in advance.

OTRS Question
by Zachary Bresee 20 Jan '10

20 Jan '10

All; I have a question, hopefully a simple one. When creating a new ticket, the standard ticket entry form appears. However, entering a customer does not seem to be a simple process. We have many different companies (each of which is entered, with a corresponding contact / user entered for each company). When you click the "customer" link on the ticket page, the list of customers does not appear. You have to enter a "*" in the search field for it to list all companies. Is there a way to replace this link with a drop down that will show all companies (let me know what code to edit or add and which file) and we can choose the contact / company we want to use? Or simply populate the popup box with all stored companies instead of having to enter a * and press search? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Zach

Re: [otrs] Change Server Name

Hi, On 20.01.2010, at 12:18, Sebastien Bory wrote: > I need to change the name server where is my OTRS application > I just need to change the FQDN in the module Framework::Core? > Or I must do another change ? OTRS actually doesn't need to know the hostname - or better FQDN - to work. But for sending out our predefined notifications, where we used dynamic links, you should exactly change the config option you mentioned. Keep in mind, if your OTRS is behind a proxy you need to put in here the proxy DNS or actually the DNS name where your OTRS is reachable. The DNS name can then be switched to another IP if needed and is in most cases much more user friendly. E.g.: servicedesk.example.tld instead of uxweb01.eu.internal.example.com - or kinds like that.

Sorting Tickets
by Christopher Ross 20 Jan '10

20 Jan '10

I am trying to change the way that the Queue is sorted by default (not by clicking the sort button) so that I can see all tickets from a specific Customer ID all together. I saw that if you go into the sysconfig and the Ticket::Frontend::Agent::Ticket::ViewQueue you can change the sort to Age, Priority, Queue, Subject, Ticket & a whole bunch of Free Texts. Is there a way to add the Customer ID option here or is there another way to get what I need by editing the config files. Thanks.
