Full ASP support?!?

Hi everybody, I installed our OTRS as an ASP system, but it seems to me as some of the settings are not really ASP-like. e.g. the "Organization"-tag in the Config.pm If I want some real ASP-system, that means, that also different "companies" are using the same server, do I just have a chance in duplicating the whole installation?!? Please not...;-) Thanx, Matthias

It depends on what you want to do with OTRS. It's possible for host more departments or companies on one instance but just with one admin(-group) for all. If you want system admin(-groups) for each customer, then you need to install a new instance.

Thats what I want. We are an agency which is managing the Support-Requests for different customers which have nothing to do with each other. I already set up: - different queues for each customer, - teams for each customer - emails for each customer and linked them together as they belong. My problems: - It seems that some settings (for example X-Organisation in Config.pm) can just set once for the whole instance, but we would need something like seperate settings for each queue - It seems as our OTRS setup ignores some settings from Config.pm, because I set: ---cut--- $Self->{MoveInToAllQueues} = 0; $Self->{ChangeOwnerToEveryone} = 0; $Self->{ShowCustomerSelection} = 0; $Self->{PhoneViewASP} = 1; ---cut--- And we can still move through all queues. - The servername should be different for each queue as they should have something like support.customer.de, all links in OTRS eMails are with the one servername-setting from Config.pm, which is not asp'able... - Is it right that the customer-frontend can just customized once for each installation and not for each queue?!?

No, there is just one admin-group for all customers. Thanks, Matthias

Just to make it clear. You have "one group of agents" which serve support to "different customers".

Fine. .)
My problems: - It seems that some settings (for example X-Organisation in Config.pm) can just set once for the whole instance, but we would need something like seperate settings for each queue
In this case, set X-Organisation to ''.
- It seems as our OTRS setup ignores some settings from Config.pm, because I set: ---cut--- $Self->{MoveInToAllQueues} = 0; $Self->{ChangeOwnerToEveryone} = 0; $Self->{ShowCustomerSelection} = 0; $Self->{PhoneViewASP} = 1; ---cut--- And we can still move through all queues.
That means ASP for the agents. Not for the customer user. If an agent is in one group and the queue is in one other group so it's not possible to move (or work) on tickets in other groups.
- The servername should be different for each queue as they should have something like support.customer.de, all links in OTRS eMails are with the one servername-setting from Config.pm, which is not asp'able...
Yes, the servername can't be changed for each queue. Just for the whole system.
- Is it right that the customer-frontend can just customized once for each installation and not for each queue?!?
No, you could create a theme for each customer.
