THE PROBLEM

Basic issue tracking capability in SharePoint

The inbuilt issue tracking list in SharePoint is only good for basic tracking requirement as it lacks the automation workflow.

Moreover, there is no direct and easy way to source information from emails in Outlook to the SharePoint ticket system. May be, except to resort to copy-paste trick. However, such workaround is time consuming and laborious, and not to mention, the precious human resources needed for data gathering.

In particular, one of the important goals for a ticketing system, is staying on top on the growing amount of support requests. But without an organized and structured link between Outlook and SharePoint, caller and problem information from emails cannot be added or updated to the SharePoint ticket system, in a timely manner. This can lead to delay in response time and even support requests falling through the crack. These limitations prevent many support teams from implementing an effective SharePoint ticket system.

THE SOLUTION

Outlook based SharePoint ticket system

SharePoint Ticket System is designed to run as an Outlook add-in.  extends your Outlook as an ideal platform to raise trouble tickets from emails to SharePoint lists.

In a click, the system analyzes your emails to extract contact details, problem description and attachments to create a ticket. Manager can input further information to the ticket, such as, agents responsible for solving the issue, due date, SLA etc.

Once a ticket is generated successfully in the chosen SharePoint list, information regarding the ticket (e.g., ticket ID, time and the URL) are embedded into the email item in Outlook. This not only provides an easy way to jump to the ticket directly, but also prevents other technicians from generating a duplicate ticket.

Lastly, because users are already familiar with Microsoft Outlook and SharePoint, no special training or skill sets is required. As a result, there is a high rate of user adoption of the SharePoint ticket system in the organization.
