Summary for ServiceDesk 1.5
New Time Rate capabilities, Cost Tracking on tickets and exports, new Dashboard Reporting available, Inventory support, Knowledge Base enhancements, QuickBooks Online integration and more…
UPDATE: Time Tracking
• Ability to set an Organisation Hourly Rate
• Define new ‘Standard Rate’ logic applied to time entries ( organisation rate preferred over staff, organisation only, staff only or custom hourly rate)
• Create custom time rates that can be managed from a new ‘Time Billing’ section in ServiceDesk, specifying title, rate, minimum charge. These can subsequently be selected when creating a time entry within a ticket in addition to the new standard rate logic.
• Ability to define a ‘Contract Hours’ window that allows you to assign time to an Organisation within a month, selecting ‘Contract Hours’ when inputting time on a ticket and display of how much inclusive time remains.
UPDATE: Ticket Cost Items
• Ability to create non time based costs against a ticket, i.e. non inventory based items. These are subsequently available on Export and Organisation Reports.
UPDATE: Inventory Support
• Create multiple products within ServiceDesk. When inputting a new non-time based cost there is the ability to search for an inventory item, selecting quantity, tracking stock count and automatic deduction.
UPDATE: Organisation Reporting
• Reporting Summary functionality available at an organisation level to view Organisation activity (tickets, time, response times and cost charges) within a variable time frame
• Ability to export a PDF report with graphs, customisable based on your selection of what charts/tables to include.
UPDATE: QuickBooks Online Integration
• Export ServiceDesk Time and Cost entries to QuickBooks to create Invoices against existing QuickBooks Customers
• Configure default settings against Time and Cost exports
