January 31st, 2010 Masino Sinaga 3 comments

I have successfully created a new report feature into osTicket v1.6 RC5 that contains three sub report. They are:
1) Ticket Aging (< = 3 Days, > 3 and < = 7 Days, > 7 and < = 14 Days, and > 14 Days),
2) Ticket Summary (Staff in Charge:, Total Number of Active Tickets:, Total Number of Closed Tickets:, Total Number of Unassigned Tickets: ), and
3) Ticket for Staff (Staff in Charge with the tickets that assigned to them).

You will see that there are three sub tabs under Dashboard tab in Admin Panel of your osTicket. Read more…

Giving Permission to Specified Staff to Add New Staff Based on Current Department in osTicket v1.6 RC5

December 8th, 2009 Masino Sinaga No comments

This article will show you how to modify your osTicket System in order to give the ability for the certain staff to add new staff record based on his/her department. As we know, only staff which has Admin account type can do this, since there are only two account type in osTicket up to v1.6 RC5; they are: Staff and Admin. If you set the certain staff’s account type which has Managers user-group become Admin account type (in order to give him/her the ability to add his/her new staff from Admin Panel), then they will be able to access all features that located on Admin Panel. So, instead of to give full access for that Manager, then we should create the new permission in user group basis, afterwards, we assign Yes to the Managers user group, so they will be able to add their own new staff without having to access Admin Panel. There will be a new tab in Staff Panel named My Staff. This new tab will have two new sub-tabs, they are: My Staff Members and Add My New Staff in order to make it different with the Staff tab at Admin Panel. Read more…

Only The Assignee Staff or Admin Can Close and Reopen Ticket in osTicket v1.6 RC5

December 4th, 2009 Masino Sinaga No comments

This following modification will add a small feature to limit the ability for staff to close the opened ticket or to reopen the closed ticket in osTicket v1.6 RC5. Only the assignee staff or admin can close and reopen the ticket. It means that if the current ticket has not been assigned to any staff, then only admin can close that ticket. Since there is no staff_id information for the closed tickets, then the closed ticket handling is similar with the unassigned tickets. Thus, this rule will be automatically being applied to such tickets. Read more…
