Hi Hugh, the link to the customer user database is defined by setting a customer user login, not by customer id. When you are connected to an Active Directory the customer user login is the samaccountname. On 19.10.2010, at 01:30, Hugh Kelley wrote: > I've implemented the Postmaster-based assi

I've implemented the Postmaster-based assignment of X-OTRS-CustomerNo, which works fine for setting the customer ID (email address). Unfortunately, the user name, telephone, etc. are still mine. I don't know if this is relevant, but this user has never sent a ticket via email or logged into the p

I like postmaster-based assignment of customers described earlier. I may try to implement that too, but my issue is with ownership. One of my coworkers made the excellent point that this auto-assigning method will break down as soon as an agent goes on vacation (assuming the postmaster logic does

A standard function of emailing is the redirect function. In Outlook this is called “Send again”. In OTRS this function is called “Bounce” I don’t like both terminologies tbh. but this is another discussion :-) If you use this function, then the Email to OTRS is still send “From” the original cu

If a user had sent me a ticket-worthy request, I'd forward the email to the ticket email with my code word in the body. #customer customerem...@domain.tld The postmaster filter gets it then the ticket gets created and assigned to the customer. http://wiki.otrs.org/index.php?title=Create_a_ticket_i

I agree about that goal. However, at least in my organization, there are a few users who hesitate to use the support system at all - they just email agents directly. Then, as you well know, it is impossible for anyone else in the team to participate in the support. I thought this might be a way t

Actually, there was a design reason behind it; it's that we think it's bad practice to assign tickets to a named user; you should rather assign it to a single group. That said, there probably can be use cases for not having this restriction. Michiel Beijen Senior Consultant OTRS BV Schipholweg 1

So far that seems like the best approach. I'll perform a ticket search for all tickets owned by 1 and with a (human) agent-created article. The last agent to contribute will probably become the lucky owner. It seems that the ACL and Generic Agents can't search/filter by owner ID. Out of curiosit

Hi, Unfortunately this can’t be searched by OTRS directly. You could write a simple SOAP script for that, which you could then execute by Cron or the GenericAgent. The SOAP script can also assign a new user if wanted. The logic is then up to you or actually up to the script writer ;-) On 04.1

That's an interesting idea. Unfortunately, I'm not sure the postmaster can determine programatically who the owner should be. Is there any way to edit the "before closing" validation so that I could check there (owner ID != 1)? Hugh On 10/2/10, Nils Leideck - ITSM wrote: > Hi, > > You could us

2010-10-01 Thread Hugh Kelley
We have a relatively "open" permission model for our tickets. Most agents can add notes or replies without owning the ticket. As a result, some tickets go all the way to resolution without having the ID changed. This means that some get closed with the root user (#1) as the owner. Is there a wa
