Last week we release the latest update to OneDesk. The big feature in this release is the Knowledgebase, and I have written a couple of articles covering it here and here.
We also added a few smaller features which I would like to cover as well:
New Configuration Options for the Customer Portal / Knowledgebase Apps
We continuously add new functionality to the customers portal, and this release introduces the following configuration options so that you can customize your customer-facing apps even more.
- Hide sorting options – If you do not want your customers to be able to sort the tickets or articles you can turn this off
- Hide the left panel filter options – If you do not want to display the filtering side-panel you can turn this off too.
- Show/hide item properties on the item detail page – Now there are dozens of properties that you can choose to display (or hide) from the ticket detail panel.
- Limit the portal to specified item types – This allows you to make a public portal to show only specific types of items (like knowledge base articles)
- Multiple portals – Now you can create and configure several portals for your organization, each for a different audience, project, or product. Let us know if you have questions on this.
Simpler filtering UI
OneDesk has always had exceptional filtering & grouping to create very flexible customized views. In this release we revamped the interface to make is easier to use. Just select a layout, add filters, add groupings and save.
