Automating Workflow with Outlook

  • It sends automated email notifications of ticket assignments and escalations, as well as reminders of ticket due dates to assignees.
  • As work on the ticket progresses, the assignee the ticket's status notes, and through the integration of Support Tracker.Net and Time Tracker.Net, a Web timesheet system, the user can simultaneously charge time against the ticket. Once the ticket has been resolved, a notice with completion notes is automatically generated and can be sent to all interested parties.
