Feature List

  • s5_bullet_small.pngEasy to use, user control panel-Each of your users will have access to their own mini control panel from where they can view old tickets, check ticket status, submit new and reply to old support tickets.
  • s5_bullet_small.pngBuilt in customer testimonial system-Pro Desk makes it easier then ever to collect and display your valuable customer testimonials.

    If you receive a nice comment just by chance along with one of your support tickets, you can easily convert/edit and display that testimonial within your Pro Desk help desk users area.

    Pro Desk also makes it easy for visiting users to browse through your existing customer testimonials and even specifically submit a testimonial if they feel so inclined. Pro Desk even offers a link back to their homepage as a way to say thanks.
  • s5_bullet_small.pngKnowledge base comment system-Pro Desk offers a user comment system for your knowledge base articles. All articles pending administrative approval so you can be sure that only quality comments appear in your help desk.
  • s5_bullet_small.pngThe Pro Desk Pending Approval System-Both user comments and customer testimonials will be flagged for administrative approval prior to their addition within your Pro Desk help desk area.
  • s5_bullet_small.pngTicket Archiving-Ticket archiving is an easy way to tuck old support tickets safely away without deleting them and you can easily un-archive archived tickets later if you wish.
  • s5_bullet_small.pngSupport category customization-Pro Desk allows for the addition of any number of custom support categories : IE. billing, pre-sales questions etc.. The choice is yours.
  • s5_bullet_small.pngSupport department customization-Further expand on your support ticket organization with Support Departments. We at Joomlashowroom.com might use a support department for each of our PHP scripts, what you use them for is up to you and remember, you can assigned either a support department or support category to a specific Pro Desk ticket administrator!
  • s5_bullet_small.pngPro Desk template system-Pro Desk includes a full and easy to use template system. To get started just copy our default template and begin your customizations. All template pages will open up normally in Dreamweaver, Frontpage or your favorite HTML editor so you don't need to be a coder to get the look you want for your Pro Desk help desk.
  • s5_bullet_small.pngCustomizable support ticket fields-Your ticket support fields are not limited to the basic layout that Pro Desk provides, in addition to these form fields you can create up to 10 single line or multi line support ticket form fields.

    At Joomlashowroom.com we use these custom fields to collect extra information that helps us answer your support request more quickly (such as your script admin URL and login information)... what you use these fields for is up to you.
  • s5_bullet_small.pngTwo level category system-Pro Desk offers a two level category system, though you may opt to use only a single level if you wish. Knowledge base articles can be added to either a parent or child level category, the choice is yours.
  • s5_bullet_small.pngBuilt in F.A.Q system-While F.A.Qs and Knowledge Bases are considered by some a similar concept, we felt that while a knowledge base was good to load with tons of obscure information, a FAQ system might benefit the average user with quick and easy access to your most popular questions, and to this end Pro Desk includes a separate and distinct FAQ system.

    As with customer testimonials and knowledge base articles : any support ticket can be edited and converted into a FAQ question quickly and easily.
  • s5_bullet_small.pngAnnouncements-Administrators can post announcements on the front page of the Pro Desk system letting customers know about important news regarding support, products, etc. Use the announcement manager to keep your visitors informed of your technical support status.
  • s5_bullet_small.pngAttachment Support-Send and accept attachments from both the front and back sides of the software.
  • s5_bullet_small.pngMultiple Admin Support-Assign multiple administrators to a support departments. Multiple support personnel can  act as a team to support a single customer or assist another support person wssigned to a support department.

  We have been using your product for several months on our Joomla site (www.xvt.com). Overall, love it. Two recommendations:

1. It is inappropriate to have the tech support people given admin privileges to the entire site to access the pro desk support. Can't the backend have its own login apart from the entire joomla website?

2. We had to hack additional drop down box fields. It would be nice to have the ability to add additional customer info via a backend tool.

Let me know if these are something you are working on.

  We originally developed this extension for our own needs on this site. We did not develop it with front end admin access for two reasons. Security being the biggest one, and we personally did not have a need for the front end access. We have no plans to ever add front end admin access to this component.

We will take your suggestion about the drop down box fields and put it on our list of feature suggestions.
Thanks
