Desktop Central provides an option to integrate with Help Desk. With this, users will be able to send their help desk queries and requirements so that they are attended by help desk professionals.
When you integrate with Help Desk, the users will have an additional menu as "Send Help Desk Requests" in the Agent icon that is shown in the system tray of the managed computers. It may be noted that the Agent Tray icon should have been configured to be shown to get this working.
Desktop Central has a set of pre-defined request templates that will be available under the Tickets tab. The administrators has an option to modify the subject and messages to suit their need. This helps them to automate the Help Desk Ticketing system based on the mail subject. To add or modify a ticket, follow the steps below:
The templates specified here will appear in the users' desktop when they click the Desktop Central icon from the system tray.
Desktop Central will use the default email address of the user, which is associated with the Active Directory user name. If no email address is mapped for the user, then the "From Email Address" will be formed by using the "From Email domain" which was specified by the administrator. Desktop Central will use this windows network domain name if "From Email Domain" is not specified. When an email is sent from the agent tray icon, then the logged on user's "Active Directory User name" will be prefixed to the network domain name to form the "From Email address". You can also choose to "allow the user's to modify the From Email address", when a mail is sent from the agent tray icon.
Example:
Windows domain is "mycompany.com"
Active Directory user name is "abc-123"
Email domain is "myemaildomain.com"
1. When "From email domain is filled, then the sender's email address will be abc-123@myemaildomain.com
2. When "From email domain" is not filled, then the sender's email address will be abc-123@mycompany.com
When an email is sent from the agent tray icon, the email domain which is associated with the Workgroup will be prefilled, and the logged on user name will be prefixed to the domain name to form the "From Email address". If this email address cannot be used to send emails, then the user will have the choice to modify the "From Email address". It is recommended to enable the settings which allows the users to modify the "From Email Address".
