MAJOR NEW FEATURES
Mobile Friendly Adaptive Layout
The interface will automatically adapt to mobile devices, tablets, and desktop browser interfaces.
Simply point your device's browser to the same URL you use on your desktop (don't forget to create a bookmark).
CC Users on Help Desk Tickets
CC'd users will receive notifications, and are able to add comments to help desk tickets to which they are CC'd.
This will make a process, such as requisitions, more streamlined since the requester can now "CC" the approving manager on their request.
The CC feature also lays the framework for the ticket merge feature.
Ticket Merging
Tickets may now be merged together. For example, let's say a few users reported the same problem.
You can now merge these tickets together. Original descriptions, comments, & attachments, will
all move to the "parent" ticket. The requesters of "child" tickets will become CC'd users on the parent ticket.
Access to SQL Upsize Wizard
Previously moving from the Standard Edition (MS Access database) to the Enterprise Edition (SQL Server database)
required a copy of a specific version of Microsoft Access, and a complex/error prone manual process.
The new upsize wizard built in to Web Tracks makes this process a snap. This feature is available within Web
Tracks from the Admin -- License & Registration section.
Unified Installer
Web Tracks now handles making sure that required Windows Features (namely IIS) are installed and configured with the optimal requirements to run Web Tracks.
It will not alter nor remove any currently configured settings.
You should notice a speedy first response when accessing Web Tracks!
MINOR FEATURES
Trailing line breaks are now stripped from comments when processed by the Email-To-Ticket converter.
The due date of a ticket can be changed by technicians (assuming they have permissions) from the ticket list right-click context menu.
Increased default attachment size limit for new databases from 500k to 1MB.
Grid column resizes are now automatically saved. Previously this required one to sort the grid to have the column width saved.
Fields are now sorted by their label value rather than database field name when choosing fields in reports and graphs.
Added Join option for reports and graphs that ties Users to Peripherals.
Removed "Record Must be first be Saved" dialog that pops up when saving a related record to the base record. The base record is
now automatically saved in these situations.
The default font and link style has been updated to a more modern look.
Added the ability to hide the related assets tab and control on the Service Desk detail form. If you are not using this feature it can be turned off from the Admin--Application Settings--Service Desk section.
BUG FIXES
Email-To-Ticket converter -- Fixed bug that could cause email commands to not be processed (e.g., status=closed) if the command text
was the only text included in the reply.
Fixed a bug in Admin--Manage Attachments where clicking "View Parent Record" would not always take you to the correct parent record.
Fixed a bug where a tab's header would appear disconnected from the tab content when viewing in the Chrome browser.
