VI Service Desk v5.0 to be released January 2010

Velocity Integrations is excited to release version 5.0 of the VI Service Desk this January. Many new features such as Sametime Chat Integration, Quick Templates, Custom fields/questions based on Ticket type, will continue to make the Service Desk a leading Lotus Domino IT Help Desk solution.

Ticket Classification Ticket Classification allows you to distinguish between tickets that are requests, incidents, problems, changes, or any other classifications you choose. We give you the ultimate flexibility by allowing you to define your own list of classifications.

IBM Lotus Sametime Integration Organizations that utilize IBM’s Lotus Sametime will find Chat menus located in all ticket views and ticket forms. You can easily initiate a chat with a client, analyst, approver or anyone else related to a ticket by the click of a button.

Custom Fields Building on our category based workflows we have added the ability to define custom fields for all of your categorizations. If you need to ask your requesters specific questions based on a selected categorization you will find custom fields can save you time by gathering required information up front when a ticket is submitted.

Category Flexibility New options have been added to the Category documents to allow you to set visibility for each subcategory by Territory/Location and by End User or Analyst. Categories can also be hidden from Quick Tickets.

Ticket Templates For quick entry and resolution of common requests and issues you can define Ticket Templates that will auto-populate the ticket’s Title, Description, Resolution and even auto create a Work Details document with Time Spent allowing you to rapidly close a ticket.

Import Emails Emails can be imported into a Ticket’s Work History from your Inbox allowing you to keep important information relevant to the ticket in one location.

End User Comments Your end users can now post additional details or comments to a Ticket that has already been submitted. The assignee(s) of the ticket will be automatically notified of the new posting.

Holding Tickets When a client goes on vacation or you are waiting for a 3rd party vendor in order to complete a ticket placing a ticket On Hold will stop the timer on the ticket. In order to ensure nothing falls through the cracks the Analyst placing the ticket On Hold will be forced to enter why the ticket is being placed On Hold and when it should be resumed. If the ticket is not manually resumed before this date it will be automatically resumed and the assignee(s) will be notified.

Scheduled Archiving With scheduled archiving you can setup the VI Service Desk to automatically archive all tickets that have been closed for the number of months you specify. Once a ticket has been closed this time it will automatically be sent to an archive database. All reporting capabilities are still available on archived tickets.

Task Work History All tasks include a work history and track time spent.

IP Range Polling We have enhanced the scanning abilities of our polling module to allow you to poll multiple IP ranges on demand. This allows you to initiate a poll of and see the results right away.

Survey Enhancements Surveys are now tied to the ticket they are sent from so you can see all surveys by the Analyst assigned to the ticket they were sent from. In addition there are now Excel reports available for surveys allowing you to do date range reports on a particular survey and show the results in Excel for portability.
