Community Round-up: 2019
We've just entered a brand new year and it feels like the right time to take a moment and thank you all for being an integral part of this community. It was quite an eventful year and to get a sense of just how much happened, let's look back at the year that was. 1222 new users visited our community page last year - let's make them feel welcome so their numbers keep growing! We made 51 significant announcements. This included major feature releases like: New channels for support: 3CX, Exotel, Ubity
in Zoho desk add filter to to workflows to stop the same operator being notified by email of tasks that they have carried out.
I have raised this in a zoho chat session, and there was no solution. So I am posting the idea here. Please add a facility to workflow to not notify the current operator via email of any actions that the operator themselves has carried out. Scenario 1: i do not need an email to tell me that I have just assigned a job to me - but I do want to know if another operator assigns me a job Scenario 2: I do not need an email to tell me that I have just logged a new ticket for someone - cos I just logged

Clicking an account or editing a ticket opens a new zoho page and then stops your timer
I cant tell you how many times I have accidentally clicked to edit a ticket and I lost my on going timer. Is it possible to have this open in a different window or tab by default so we dont lose our timer? Also it would be nice if there was a way to edit the ticket subject without having to go into the edit ticket page as this slows down the work flow. Would be nice if you could do this similar to how you can edit the waiting status or comment from the left side.
Questions Regarding Desk
Why is it so difficult to merge tickets that have different statuses? I have found a work around to do this by creating a custom view that includes open and on hold tickets but it's honestly a pain and doesnt work very well because you also cant display more than 20 tickets per page and they are sometimes on different pages. Why can we not show more than 20 tickets per page? Is this something that can be implemented? Why can we only merge three tickets at a time?
SLA
how to assign multiple SLA's of same department to the one account.
Change in subject by replying on ticket.
Hi Team, we dont have any auto tagging of ticket. i want such a functionality when we reply on the ticket then system should tag the ticket with department name.
Printing Ticket
Can any help and show me how to print Ticket. Been waiting for more than a year, still no news from Zoho team. Thank so much. Michael.

Im new to desk (was using fresh desk for 5 years) struggling with alert settings
I followed instructions given to me on chat, but I still cant get it right... I dont get email alerts when someone adds a new task but I do if they reply. If I reply to a customers ticket, I get an alert telling me that THEY updated it? (and Im assuming they do) Im not the most technical of people, so is there a way I can get someone from Zoho to log onto my account and help me achieve the best / standard setup? Many thanks John
SQL Query
Has an option been added in the SQL query to allow a selection of “is after today” yet? People pay for yearly maintenance and still request support but the CRM states this expired. So it makes sense to be able to set a trigger to send an automated email if the date queried in question is in the past has passed. Example: Expiry is 12/25/2018. Email arrives 05/08/2019, today's date "is after" expiry, trigger an automatic email saying there's no support for the sender.
Service Contracts and Pay as you go
Can you get Helpdesk to Round up to the nearest hour base on support times? We have clients who pay an up front fee pcm and others who pay as you go? is this under support contacts?

Technician Accountability
We have several technicians. Some work faster than others. Some tickets take longer than others. We'd like to be able to see technician statistics for management purposes. Having to run yet another of 100 reports is just more work. Your radar app is interesting but even it has issues. This information should be available right in the Zoho desk application. It's great you have 40+ programs but getting quality integrations and features is suffering because there are too many teams working independently
SLA with Support Contract Dates
Everywhere in the system when you use a date field, you can TYPE the date using mm/did/yy format or use the drop down calendar to select a date. However, in Zoho desk when you're setting the start/end date of a support contract you are required to use ONLY the calendar. We set our monthly subscription clients to use a date of 12/31/2050 as the support expiration (since there is no way to make it not expire until canceled). Because of this, I have to hit the >> button on the calendar 32 times to get
Default SLA
Every customer has a basic service requirement - the SLA and then over and above that is the support agreement. We have a couple of problems. 1. When a support agreement expires, Zoho Desk deletes the SLA from the client account. 2. Any client account without a manually attached SLA is getting higher priority in the call/ticket queue. We need to be able to assign a default SLA to all clients and it should not be deleted when a support agreement expires. Lastly, Our clients sometimes buy more than
Ticket Fields Need Default Values
We've created SLA for various products and assigned these SLAs to customer accounts. Yet, still when we add a new support ticket we are prompted for the product name despite Zoho Desk knowing that the customer account has an SLA applied. It should be defaulted to the product assigned to the one and only SLA we are allowed (unless you plan to let us have multiple SLAs) There are also other fields such as "due date" - we are forced to select a due date on each ticket yet this date doesn't matter.
Tip #1: Learn to pick the right channels
Mail, live chat, telephony, social media, web forms—there are so many support channels out there. Trying to pick the right channels to offer your customers can get pretty confusing. Emails are most useful when the customer wants to put things on record. However, escalated or complicated issues should not be resolved over email because it's slow and impersonal. When you need immediate responses, live chat is more suitable. It's also quick and convenient, so it's the go-to channel for small issues.
Relate Customer to department
I need to specify for customers registered which departments he can view
