With Folder HelpDesk for Outlook, support centres and other helpdesks can work efficiently with support cases inside Microsoft Outlook. The support tickets are easy to fill out, as values can be selected from dropdowns, and few mandatory fields ensures that the tickets are saved without problems. Folder HelpDesk is centrally installed and configured, and the users only have to make a simple installation of the client tool. Folder HelpDesk may be used with any Outlook folder. Folder HelpDesk has integrated Excel reports, and tickets can be saved in a knowledge base for future reference. Full text search as well as field search is smoothly performed for both open and closed tickets. Folder HelpDesk has different views for the open tickets. Group the ticket list by Caller category, Importance, Incident type, Responsible or Status and see overviews in the HTML views Kanban board, Month (timeline and calendar) and Pie chart. You can also create custom views. Folder HelpDesk can of course also be used for other issue tracking purposes. Welcome to the show!
