Option to make "Add Work" required before ticket can be closed.
Hello. It would be nice to make the "Add Work" option as a required field before a ticket can be closed or completed. Our company is looking towards tracking how long different tasks take for IT Technician and making this a required field would make this an easy way to add up the time as well as ensure the time is being added as it is easy to forget.

Move Process Templates out from Service Desk Configuration so that it can be selected as a separate Hide/Read/Write item in the Roles configuration screen.

User portal needs a facelift - Service desk
User portal looks like Windows 98. Major turn off for our users. Should have big colorful buttons like we see everywhere in 2020. When you get to the queue selection screen it looks like an AS-400 terminal.

Include Knowledge Base Link when adding to a ticket
When adding the KB article to the ticket it would be even better if the KB link was added as well. This way, when the end user could refer back to the latest version of the article.
Or possibly, give the Service Desk tech the option to either attach the article text or the link.

Make the Summary Window have a scroll bar- Emailed tickets make it too big
When a ticket is emailed, if the email contains a large body of text, that text FILLS UP THE SUMMARY WINDOW of the newly created ticket. This means you have to scroll and scroll and scroll before you can reach the tickets comments/ attachments section...to do work.
so. simple fix.....make the Summary window have a scroll bar...JUST LIKE THE COMMENTS FIELD DOES.3 votes -
Rich text in response templates
Use the same rich text WYSIWYG editor for response templates as is used for the ticket comment field.
For a long time, we used the Knowledge Base as a poor man's response template, and now that we have an actual response template feature, I don't feel any richer.

Communication and Notes Separated
I think it would be cleaner if you had a separate spot for Private notes vs using the "Owners Only" button. We find that we forgot to check this off sometimes notifying the user of a note we do not want them to see or the reverse if the default is checked we forget to uncheck and the user does not get notified of the communication. If you had a field in the Ticket called " Private Notes" and when added gets added to the comments section upon submit and the field cleared would be a cleaner way of handling…

Service Desk search ticket list is very slow
Tickets list search is very, very slow
If you enter a value in the search ticket list it takes forever until a result appears.
Update data is only in the search list
Setting up the archiving did nothing!
If you enter the same value in the advanced search, it is quick
Even if I change the ticket on the following path, the search appears instantly

Add BCC list and allow optional to send email with true CC and BCC list functionality
Add a BCC list and an option to send email with actual standard SMTP CC and BCC list functionality, so that recipients can see that they are not the only one being notified.
As is, recipients often start emailing each other, because they don't know that the other concerned parties were also notified.

Separation of service desk admins
I have recently come across an issue with the help desk where it's been pushed down from the Powers That Be that the Finance Department should have a ticketing queue for people to submit invoices because a shared mailbox is not working.
I have found, after working with a tech, that while it's possible to create the queue (obviously) you cannot restrict the admins of this finance queue from seeing the contents of the other queues, WITHOUT FULLY DISABLING THE ABILITY FOR THOSE PEOPLE TO SUBMIT ANY TICKETS.
Would like to have some sort of separation of duties regarding queues,…

Outbound email address blacklist
To help avoid ticket loops it would be really useful to have an outbound only email blacklist. So emails from alert@somecompany.com are allowed to open tickets but no responses are sent.
This would really help with getting server/system alerts and notifications from 3rd party companies.

Automatically Prevent Emails to Queue Email Addresses to Prevent Loops
We have multiple service desk queues that have occasionally gotten into loops where a notification from one queue gets sent to another and causes and endless creation of tickets in both queues.
Currently, the recommended way to prevent this would be to blacklist the subject lines of the queue notification emails, but this can cause legitimate tickets not to be created. Since, the main issue here is the notifications, which are what cause the excess tickets to be created.
The alternative is to create ticket rules for each queue, but this can be very time-consuming and error prone. Since KACE…

Force Adjustment Hours in Service Desk
For each Workqueue provide an option to force our users/technicians into entering time for each ticket. I've noticed when i create custom reports, fields that report "0" in the "HDWORK.AdjustmentHours" table will not show up in a report. I would like to make sure our reports are as accurate as possible.

Make the Installation Instructions text box be able to have empty lines between details
In the admin part of editing the user download you can create blank lines by entering twice once a sentence is finished, then typing more information.
Due to the current formatting limitation, the end user sees all of the text in one line, which makes it easily missed for moderate-advanced installs.

Allow for branching, non-linear, and non-blocking Child Tickets for Process Tickets
Allow processes created to have multiple branches so that each team isn't holding other teams up.
For example, in our system we have an IT department responsible for setting up the computer and devices for the user and an HR department responsible for getting building access. We want the HR department to receive the ticket early so that they can get the response from the building in a timely manner, but if we put it as a ticket early in the process then new IT tickets aren't created.
These two workflows may both be required before the first day for…

Tracking api integration for ups/fedex/usps,etc.
Requesting an enhancement to the helpdesk that would enable technicians to enter the tracking# for recently processed shipments directly into a service ticket via new shipping field or comment. Ideal behavior of the feature would help end users and techs stay informed about tracking updates via a web-interface tracker and KACE posting comments to the ticket when updates to the shipment are detected – perhaps refresh of tracking updates only occur via api checks when the status of a ticket is set to “shipping” which may require a new ticket status setting. I believe all three major couriers in the…
