We’ve released a new ticket collaboration feature today which allows you to @mention techs and customers within a ticket, as well as a new notification item in our Notification Center for defining how you’d like to handle @mentions.
Along the same lines of collaboration, it’d be super useful if there was a pop up that said “Tech XYZ is viewing this ticket” or “Tech XYZ is typing in this ticket” extra points if it can say is typing a private note/public note/email etc - like Halo does…
The one case of overlap that causes us lots of wasted effects is on initial assignment. Two agents assign the ticket to themselves at the save time (approximately). They then set off working.
The system should spit out a big warning when you change the assignment but the previous assignee wasn’t what it was when you made the action.
Agent A: Sees ticket is unassigned.
Assigns it to themselves and in the request notes that previous_assignee=nil.
Result: Ticket is assigned to them.)
Agent B: At around the same time… Sees ticket is unassigned.
Assigns it to themselves and in the request notes that previous_assignee=nil.
Result: System displays an error/warning in the page, saying that assignee is A. The assignee is not changed.
