Feature Ideas

In the settings screen it is currently only possible to search settings for a /section/ (i.e. 'integrator'). Given the vast complexity of the HALO product and the fact that a great number of settings that might be considered related are not actually grouped together, the organic way in which settings are added, and the typically very lacking documentation, please make it possible to search the actual setting 'labels' and descriptions. i.e. I should be able to search for "new user" and at least be able to click through to the exact location of, if not see the current state of, all the setting options with the string "new user" in their title or in-line help text

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.

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.

Could you please build a Microsoft Copilot Connector that allows interaction with all the data in Halo?

Ability to merge sites for a customer, in the same way as its possible to merge a customer.

We heavily use to-do's as a way of creating checklists on common steps. However, a lot of our clients require unique custom checklists. We use IT Glue currently for this and it allows not only a to-do, but it allows that to-do to be expanded detailed steps (written in HTML). What I would like to see is the following To-dos have their own tab in tickets and not just a sidebar. To-do's can be expanded to show links or steps (See screenshot of Glue) To-dos once completed hide from the list To-do's that can be associated with a client site and be templated To-Do templates can be grouped

Sometimes a ticket can relate to multiple knowledge base articles. It woule be very beneficial to be able to link multiple KB articles to a single ticket.

It's great being able to create a scheduled ticket template, however it would be super useful if there was an option to manually run the schedule. This is great if you're wanting to create something that's monthly/quarterly etc, but don't want to wait until the next month/quarter to run it. i.e. create schedule, but also run now.

I would really enjoy having the possibility to add custom CSS to the agent portal. It would allow us to customize colours and personalize the appearance in order to adapt it to our business needs.

In the ticket queue, when a ticket is not on hold, a bar is shown with the SLA time remaining. When a ticket is on hold, the only thing shown is the text 'On Hold'. Agents do not know if a ticket on hold will need immediate attention once it is off hold. It would be helpful to see the On Hold text and the time left at the same time.

we use the Unifi Hardware stack for most of our networking as the controller for this is free and doesnt require a subscription. this controller uses standard Rest api to collect information. (www.ui.com) I have currently created a powershell based integration that collects all sites and hardware from the unifi controller and updates them via api in Halo. However, due to api throtteling this process is quite prone to error. It would be realy nice to have this as a proper integration. This api is Documented here: https://ubntwiki.com/products/software/unifi-controller/api

I would like to change the favicon that is shown on the customer portal – right now it’s the red haloPSA favicon which doesn’t match our color scheme at all. Replacing it with our own custom icon preferred, alternatively the ability to set a HEX color code for the existing icon would be a 2nd option Also when going to our portal the loading circle is blue at first, and then changes to our green, is there any way to fix that? Right now the favicon is red, the initial loading circle is blue, and then finally things change to green, which is a pretty bad mis-match of colors Additionally, it would be great to have the option to repeat a background image vertically, right now we had to make a fairly large image in height to have it work on every possible screen/mobile device, but the caveat is that the background image takes a second or two to load in. If we could just have it repeating on the Y axis that would solve the problem, but I was told that it's not possible, even by custom CSS at this time.

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.

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.

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.
