Configuring Parallels Business Automation - Standard Trouble Ticket System

The Provider Control Center allows processing problem reports that came from provider's customers, posting tickets for their customers accounts, and viewing trouble tickets posted by customers of your resellers.

The Reseller Control Center allows resellers to process trouble tickets posted by their customers and post trouble tickets to their provider.

Parallels Business Automation - Standard allows using either the built-in Ticket System or an external HelpDesk.

How It Works

Provider or reseller can configure the Trouble Ticket System in such a way that customers are able to submit trouble tickets both directly from the Control Panel web-based interface and send problem reports via e-mail. E-mail reports are automatically converted into corresponding trouble tickets.

In addition, it is possible to specify several internal e-mail addresses to send watcher notifications.
