Database Back-end: With its integrated FrontBase server on Mac OS X and Windows, the Web Help Desk ensures that all your information is safely stored in a relational database providing a robust back-end to handle your growing needs. We also offer support for Microsoft SQL Server 2000/2005, MySQL 5, PostgreSQL, Oracle 8i/9i and OpenBase.
4. Help Request Prioritization: The Web Help Desk software uses intelligent business logic to determine which technician is assigned to a new ticket. Using a combination of location, skill-set, work schedule and work load balancing, you always get the right tech for the job. Group various locations and departments to allow the tracking of requests from separate entities within your organization to be centrally managed. Jobs can also be assigned to a Tech Group pool, so your technicians can select jobs as they become available.
5. Client Request and Self Help: Clients have a simple interface to submit requests, view updates on previous requests, and self-serve with our FAQ Knowledge Base. The Help Request form dynamically updates as the end user defines what type of help request they are submitting. Custom fields, in the form of text boxes, popup menus, radio buttons or check boxes, are displayed dynamically based on the Problem Type chosen by the client end-user.
6. E-Mail Based Submission and Updating: Help requests can be submitted via e-mail to one or more dedicated e-mail addresses. Help desk e-mail accounts are monitored by the application, with new messages used to automatically generate tickets (including attachments). Requests can be updated by e-mail to add notes, change status, attach files and reassign a Technician.

11. LDAP and Active Directory Synchronization: Schedule automatic synchronizations to your Lightweight Directory or AD, then use the Web Help Desk to authenticate users and look up client contact info.

Technicians and management can be alerted when jobs have been left unchecked, unassigned or incomplete for a specified time period.
15. PDF Generation and Spreadsheet Exports: The web is an ideal cross platform method to deliver dynamic information, but for printing, it leaves much to be desired. Weve integrated real-time PDF generation into the Web Help Desk to make the printing and e-mailing of help request lists, performance reports and asset information a beautiful experience. All of these items may also be downloaded as tab delimited text files perfect for manipulating in your favorite spreadsheet application.
