Time accounting module
by Ivan De Masi 12 Jun '09

12 Jun '09

Hi, is anybody here who has expience with the "time accounting" module? I'm testing the time accounting module (V.1.2.1) with OTRS V. 2.3.2 and I want to change the period the module calculates/reports the worked hours in a month. A regulary "working month" starts on the first an ends at the 30./31. - right? ;-) We have a different period calculation starting the 15th of every month until the 14th of the next month. Is there a way to tell the module to disply the reports this way? I also have problems to tell the system to handle part-time jobs. When sombody is not working a day or two (because he has only to work 3 or 4 days a week), the system always asks for the missing times for that days. The same for holidays. The only way ist to set the one ill for that day - but this is no good solution. Any ideas? Thanks! Regards, Ivan

Help with email configuration and testing
by Jack Blalock 12 Jun '09

12 Jun '09

I'm working with a fresh OTRS system (totally new to OTRS) I'm trying to get the email part working. Under "Postmaster Mail Account" I have filled in the information for a couple email accounts at gmail. When I select "Run Now!" for an account setup with IMAP I get the below message. In the "System Log" I see several entries "IMAP: Can't connect to imap.gmail.com". On the accounts setup for POP3S, theres no error pages being displayed and theres no entries in the System Log (good or bad messages??), I also do not see any emails being pulled and displayed in any queues within the OTRS system. I'm a little lost on what to look at to fix. OTRS ERROR MESSAGE BELOW THIS LINE------------------ In the OTRS JumpBox administration - Traceback: ERROR: OTRS-CGI-10 Perl: 5.8.8 OS: linux Time: Thu Jun 11 11:36:19 2009 Message: IMAP: Can't connect to imap.gmail.com Traceback (4422): Module: Kernel::System::MailAccount::IMAP::Fetch (v1.5) Line: 72 Module: Kernel::System::MailAccount::MailAccountFetch (v1.5) Line: 369 Module: Kernel::Modules::AdminMailAccount::Run (v1.5) Line: 62 Module: Kernel::System::Web::InterfaceAgent::Run (v1.35) Line: 824 Module: ModPerl::ROOT::ModPerl::Registry::var_data_otrs_bin_cgi_2dbin_index_2epl::handler (unknown version) Line: 47 Module: (eval) (v1.87) Line: 204 Module: ModPerl::RegistryCooker::run (v1.87) Line: 204 Module: ModPerl::RegistryCooker::default_handler (v1.87) Line: 170 Module: ModPerl::Registry::handler (v1.99) Line: 31 OTRS ERROR MESSAGE ABOVE THIS LINE------------------ F.Y.I. I have done another test with account info to our in house exchange server (IMAP) and it seems to work without issues. -- Thanks Jack Blalock

links from one faq to another.
by Rodney McDuff 12 Jun '09

12 Jun '09

I have a bunch of faqs and I have linked them to each other in a way that I think is quite usefully. However as a customer I don't see these links. Are linked faqs only seen by agents or is this a bug? -- Dr. Rodney G.

Reg: Restrictions in queue views
by Katta, Lokesh Katta Subramanyam 10 Jun '09

10 Jun '09

Hi All, Is it possible to restrict the tickets viewed by agents in specific queues based on the specific parameters like in our case LOCATION. We require this setup, since we have offices in multiple locations and for some queues for e.g. "facility maintenance" we do not want an agent responsible for location A to see the tickets for location B. The only possibility that I am seeing is that we need to create separate queues for each location but this will clutter the queues and there will be more than one queue for a single category. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Lokesh

Timezone setting
by Arlene Wu 10 Jun '09

10 Jun '09

Hi, We are in China (Timezone Beijing), while our server is located in USA. We found the time displayed in OTRS is always wrong, not our local time. And ticket from our client (also in China) and notification email always showing wrong time, but different from that in OTRS. We know timezone could be set in Config Options: Framework -> Core::Time, but we fail to find out the solution that really makes the time correct. Thanks a lot, Arlene
