Setup page changes: Regrouping and categorization of features

Setup page changes: Regrouping and categorization of features

 Dear Desk Users,


We're pleased to announce an upcoming revamp of the Desk setup page. These changes are intended to improve the organization and visibility of features on the setup page. 

Why are we making these changes?

Simplified navigation


Our primary goal is to make it easier for you to find exactly what you need, when you need it. The new setup page features a more intuitive and streamlined structure, reducing the number of clicks and the time spent searching for features.


Consistency and clarity


Some features have been renamed to adhere to standardized naming conventions. In addition, related features are grouped together, and new groups have been introduced to maintain consistency, ease navigation, and minimize confusion, making your Zoho Desk experience more user-friendly.


Future-ready design


The new setup page is designed to accommodate the evolving needs of Zoho Desk users and ensure that the platform can successfully accommodate future enhancements and new features.

Changes in existing sections

  • General

    • This section has been renamed Organization.
    • The Holiday Lists option, previously located within Business Hours, is now placed separately under Organization.
    • Zia, Zia powered by ChatGPT, Guided Conversations, and Gamescope have been moved out of General and placed in a separate category.

    • The Supervisor feature has been renamed Supervisor Rules.
    • The Support Contracts feature has been renamed Support Plans.

    • A new feature called Attachment Control has been added.



  • Marketplace

    • Renamed to Integrations.
    • Marketplace has been newly added under Integrations.


New sections added

Four sections have been introduced in the setup page based on the functionality the features offer:

  1. Self Service

    1. Guided Conversations has been moved from General to Self Service.
    2. ASAP has been moved from Channels to Self Service.



  2. Zia

    1. Zia has been moved out of General and placed as a separate category.
    2. Zia Powered by ChatGPT has been renamed Zia Powered by GPT and moved from General to Zia.



  3. Privacy and Security

    1. The Data Subject Request feature, previously located within Privacy Settings, is now placed separately under Privacy and Security.
    2. The Read Receipts feature, also previously located within Privacy Settings, is now placed separately under Privacy and Security.
    3. A new Audit Log feature has been added.



  4. Personalization

    1. The My Information feature, previously located within Personal Settings, is now placed separately under Personalization.
    2. The Preferences feature, also previously located within Personal Settings, is now placed as a separate entity under Personalization.

NoteThe Developer Space section remains unchanged.


We are planning to make the new grouping of features on the setup page available for all users across DCs within a week. Please check this space for any additional information regarding these changes.

We hope you find the new categorization more intuitive, easy to navigate, and that it will enhance your experience with Zoho Desk. Stay tuned for the rollout of these exciting changes!


Thank you and have a great day!


Regards,

    • Using Agent Email Address as From Address

      Currently, while replying to a ticket, it is possible for agents to choose their own email addresses as 'from' addresses. Although we built this just for that little extra flexibility, in hindsight, it hasn't figured much in conventional usage.  Almost all businesses prefer that responses to their customers' tickets be sent from the common support/service email address and NOT from those of individual agents. During personal interactions at events, some of you have even made passing mentions about
