[otrs] Make customer user email address optional

We use OTRS to keep track of phone support tickets ourselves, i.e. we add a phone ticket to record a telephone support conversation. The agents usually have to add new customer user. However they don't usally have the customer's email address because customers don't need to keep track of their t

All of the comments aside, OTRS does have some functionality for multi-server setups. A 'server instance' is included as apart of the default ticket scheme. I have not used or activated it, so know little of how it functions. About 2 years ago a thread discussed this so you may be search the arch

In such a huge enviroment it would absolutely make sense to have a dedicated admin who takes care the ticket system (OTRS or not) works as intended worldwide. Thus I don't see the merits of a multi-instance setup. Better to have a good chat with the different departments and create a substantial

Assuming that your laptop runs Windows you can just download and run the Windows installer. That will also setup MySQL and a webserver, so you wouldn't have to worry about that. After that I would manually configure a minimal setup: maybe you can create and use a test mailbox, define a few queues a

Hi. The genuine purpose of a ticket system is to provide handling of interdepartment requests. So why not one installation and a proper queue setup with specific access permissions? I don't get the point where you need a separate installation. Greetz Daniel -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- V

Hi all, I would like to know your opinion about having multiple installation that can communicates each other. The motivation is that otrs, in our case, is used for interdepartment requests and every department would like to manage its queue, agent and other (time accounting specially). So my idea

The very best way to achieve this is to set up a separate test environment. You did not specify what kind of testing you want to perform; but generally you should separate testing and production activities if possible. One of the benefits of using open source software is that no one is going to bi
