Feature Ideas

Hudu has this feature so it must be possible to achieve. If Client's website is mentioned under client, it should reach out to the website, get the logo and add it to the client in Halo.

Service tickets allow for assets (PC's printer, etc) to be connected to the ticket; however when creating an Opportunity ticket, there is no option to add an asset to reference what hardware is being replaced, etc

When entering time at present It must be one contiguous block that is either all billed or all not billed. Depending upon global settings it can be defined by a duration and end time, or by start and end time. But there is no way to account for other overlapping time entries. A time-tracking field that lets you enter an amount of time to deduct from a time entry without changing the start and end times would allow for this and avoid a lot of tedious small time entries. For instance, a servicedesk tech working on one matter (ticket A) gets interrupted by a call (ticket B). They handle the call, make a time entry for that, and return to the first task. In the current system, they will end up billing the duration of the call to both tickets A and B unless they make separate time entries for ticket A before and after the call (ticket B). Importantly, this gets a lot worse when that agent is interrupted more than once. With a deduction field, the tech makes their time entry for ticket B when they take the call. Then when they make their entry for ticket A, they enter the correct start and end times and then take the duration of ticket B and enter it in the deduction field. The number of time entries required to bill (or not bill) all time correctly reduces a lot and ticket notes are simpler and more readable. On top of that, an option to automatically deduct the duration of overlapping time entries would make this super simple. This could be a button or checkbox next to the deduction field that automatically calculates the deduction upon request.

We would like to see within the ticket count also the tickets where an agent is additional so that you have a complete picture of open tickets for that agent.

When linking a Ticket to another Ticket, often there is a long list of Tickets to select from.It would be helpful a ticket was a Parent or a Child ticket, that the -P or the -C was next to the Ticket Number.

In HaloPSA Timesheets, we should be able to enter the Start time and End times via keystrokes on the keyboard and without having to click scroll through the time scroller for both the hour field and minutes fields to add in our times. We should also be given a field to deduct time when staff need to enter a block time in with other tickets \ tasks completed during this block time in a working day. This archaic front end is a relic of the 1980's, is inefficient + cumbersome, and cost us time.

Have the ability for customers to type their name and auto generate a signature on the quote instead of having to draw a signature using the Mouse

A full functioning mobile app that doesn't require you to go to the browser version on your phone for 90% of your needs.

We currently have the chat facility accessible via the Self Service portal however most of our clients do not use this as they find it easier to contact us via email. It would be a game changer if Halo could have a desktop feature where a 'Tray Icon' can be placed on the users Task bar and when expanded, quick access to a few frequent options could be accessible. For example: 'Log a ticket', 'View my tickets', Chat to an Agent', Knowledge Articles' etc. With end user experience in mind, it would be great for users to engage directly with our team rather than the tradtional email process. This would boost turnaround times as well as customer satisfaction. Attached is an example of another MSP software platform where there desktop tray icon is available.

You can't easily move around the email addresses when emailing from a ticket. It would be great if you could drag someone from CC and drop into the To section without having to search for that user and delete the other one.

It would be really useful to be able to write an email in Outlook and pick the correct ticket number from a list or search, add time in and then send to Halo through the normal copy in the mail delivery email address as usual. The reason this works much better is: a) People don't ignore direct emails from people in the same way as they ignore automated emails from a PSA system b) The formatting used is much better and doesnt break as with the current output from Halo(and you can paste in other items without the formatting getting screwed too) You could use the same mechanism to book in ticket updates, appointments from tickets and tasks/notes from tickets to work from.

Ticket notes & draft emails, etc. should autosave to the tickets in case of a browser refresh or crash. If you had started writing notes and then refresh the ticket page then you should have a button or option to reload what you had last typed in there instead of needing to start over. I'm a new Halo user coming over from Syncro and this is the most basic feature that Syncro has and Halo is missing. I've lost a few draft ticket notes already but I'm sure many of you have lost many more. Ideally this would work in forms outside of the service desk as well, in the knowledge base, in the self-service portals, etc. All of those rich text and really any field should be autosaving while you type so if you refresh then you can click a button to get back what you had.

Just like using the @ in a ticket will bring up the ability to reference a user I would like to see similar ability to reference another ticket ie.. @ticket# or something like this which will make it a hyper link.

There are some times where you have a complex multi company structure, but have some admin people that work cross company. Top levels (Thanks Rhys @ Halo!) work great to some degree, but, other parts (reports for example) are only for the company that the user belongs to. It would be great if we could associate a person with multiple companies and give them the option to "switch" companies in order to see the portal as a member of a different company

Can you please add weeknumbers in the calendar view?
