Feature Ideas

The Current MCP Server doesn't work with Claude (OAuth errors). Adding OAuth 2.0 Auth Server compatibility (see https://ideas.halopsa.com/b/wmw32n0q/feature-ideas/oauth-20-authorization-server-metadata) may resolve this... but whether it does or not, Claude integration would be very useful for those of us using it as a corporate AI solution.

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

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

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

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.

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 the Action context menu (the "..." on an existing Action like a Time Entry) there are options to "Copy Action to Ticket" and "Move Action to Ticket", but both require a target ticket. There is no way to duplicate an Action in place on the same ticket. Use case: splitting a Time Entry after the fact. Example: a 2h entry turns out to have been 1h Support + 1h Coaching with different Charge Types and categories. Right now I have to shorten the existing entry to 1h and create a second one from scratch, re-typing all fields (description, category, charge type, billable flag, custom fields). A "Duplicate" option in the same context menu would copy the Action on the same ticket, pre-filled with all values, so only the differing fields need to be adjusted.

In many table views, it is possible to adjust the columns via the menu, or to link a custom column profile. However, there are still certain table views (such as Awaiting Reviews for invoices) where this is not yet possible.

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.

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

Currently you can only have one Closed Ticket Status. This doesn't really suit how we work as we sometimes Cancel tickets which are raised in error, where as any tickets which are brought to a successful conclusion are 'Resolved'. At the moment when we Cancel tickets, they still show in the User Portal under Open Tickets as the Status itself is classed as an Open status, not closed. We're using the only Closed status we have available as Resolved.

wouldn´t it be great, to have the same login for the https://support.haloservicedesk.com/portal/ and https://ideas.halopsa.com/ and to be able to create an Idea from a ticket, so that dev could not only read the idea, but also the support case which lead to the feature request?

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.

$INVADDRESS currently will display any blank lines in the address, this ideally should remove any blank lines to make for better styling. e.g. Address 1 Address 2 Address 3 No Address 4 Post Code Thisshould display as Address 1 Address 2 Address 3 Post Code

Useful so you don't have to expand the column to read the information every time you enter the ticket list
