New revamped 'Cases
Search' tool. A variety
of search parameters are predefined to help
you find your cases easily and quickly. You
can also limit the search to your assigned
cases only by choosing 'My Cases'
scope. You can directly reply to existing
case, or send a KB, or re-open, close (mark
complete) or print or export cases to files. ![]() Time Period: Choose a time period from the followings under which the search will be confined: Any Today Yesterday Tomorrow This week Last Week Next Week This Month Last Month Next Month This Year Last Year Date Range... On Report Type: Choose a report type from the predefined ones below: Any Cases Created Cases Resolved Cases Ongoing Cases Worked Cases Due Cases Response Date Cases unassigned Cases lapsed - Due Time Cases lapsed - Response Time Cases with SLA Breach - Due Date Cases with SLA Breach - Response Date Cases with no Due Date Cases with no Response Date Cases with no Service Level Cases with no Caller Search By: Further refine the search by filtering through keywords or using one of the following helpdesk fields - Technicians, Status, Problem, Service level, Caller, Department, Company, Priority, Origin, Assets or Author. Group By: You can choose to group the cases either with: Technicians, Status, Problem Category, Problem Type, Service level, Caller, Department, Company, Priority, Origin, Assets or Author. Each case in the search result is color coded to reflect the current state of the case such as if it ongoing, completed, over due or has breached SLA. Now, you can easily recognize which cases require the utmost attention, and plan actions and allocate resources accordingly. With this version, you are free to choose which particular helpdesk fields/columns show up in the search result and report. Just click the 'Fields' button, and choose the wanted columns to include. ![]() You can re-arrange the columns by drag-and-drop to get the kind of view you want. And the display order of the columns will be retained in subsequent sessions. You can export cases to files in the following document types: Adobe PDF, XPS, Word 97-2003 DOC, Word 2007-2016, DOCX, RTF, ODT or HTML. ![]() Multiple cases can be batch exported. Just select multiple cases from the list and choose one of the document type to export to, and the batch wizard will perform the rest. ![]() You can control what case data are included in the files by customizing the 'Print' template under Team Helpdesk Manager > Templates Manager. For example, place the variable 'SCO_CASEDESCRIPTION' in the Print template such that the exported file (eg. pdf) contains all the consolidated conversations (body) from the case item including inline images. |

New Summary Reports
tool allows for Four modes
of views or editing.
List, HTML, HTML Editable and
Grid.
It uses the same sets of
search filters discussed above.![]() ![]() Some useful calculated fields that you can enabled in the report: 1) Raise Duration - interval between when the support request (email or phone call) was received and when the case was raised. 2) Response Duration - interval between when the support request was received (email or phone call) and when the first response was made to the caller (by a technician) 3) Open Duration - interval between when the case was raised and the current time. 4) Resolution Duration - interval between when the case was raised and when it was closed/completed. 5) Breach Duration - interval between when the case was due and when it was actually closed/completed. For finer control over the output of report, you can choose which fields (including custom fields and calculated fields) are to be included in the report. You can sort the items by clicking at the column headers, as well as also re-arrange the columns in the list view according to certain sequence of your choice, and even set the width of the columns. These formatting from the List view panel will be inherited on other tabs - HTML, editable HTML and Grids. ![]() Once you get the look and feel of your report, you can then export the report to one of the many popular document formats supported such as Microsoft Excel sheets, Word documents, Adobe PDF, Rich Text or web page etc. ![]() |
