Come with me…
Much like a violinist trying to learn viola, if you’re a user of Axosoft Scrum or Axosoft Bug Tracker then you’ll find yourself serenading away with our Axosoft HelpDesk. Ticket management behaves identically to defect or feature management, which means you can customize their fields, workflows and filters the same way you have in our other products. We highly suggest you try color coding your tickets to make them more pleasing and discerning to the eye. Check out this link to learn more.

Here we’ve introduced colors for each workflow step. Purple is new and Green Resolved.
Email integration allows all your emails to come into our system as tickets, and is by far the most distinguishing feature of Axosoft HelpDesk (which is getting some love in our upcoming 14.2 release).

Here’s a peek into what the email manager will look like with the 14.2 release.
Once you set up all the email connections (IMAP or POP3), the system will check the email account every few minutes and pull in new emails as new incidents. That way, everything comes into one central location where your entire team can access and manage the following:
-
Move tickets through the workflow
-
Send outbound emails
-
Keep a history of emails within each ticket
You can even set up auto-replies and gain access to more advanced settings. If you need help enabling any of these features, check out our documentation.

Emails come in, emails go out.
Axosoft HelpDesk’s Customer Portal is a simple, easy-to-use ticketing system. It allows any customers you have defined in the system to login, create tickets, and potentially monitor their ticket’s progress.

Customer Portal is easy to use and it sorts all submitted items into the desired backlog.
This is where things start to get interesting. You see, the best part about Axosoft HelpDesk is its ability to integrate seamlessly with Axosoft Scrum, Bug Tracker and Wiki. You can choose to expose parts of your Product Backlog, Defect Backlog and Team Wiki via the customer portal.
-
Want customers or internal employees to log a bug? Use the Customer Portal.
-
Want a place for feature request submission? Use the Customer Portal.
-
Want customers or employees to access and edit project wiki pages? Use the Customer Portal.
You start to get the picture. Check out our customer portal documentation to learn about how you can get this set up. By the way, this Axosoft HelpDesk synergy with Axosoft Scrum and Axosoft Bug Tracker also works with email. That means yes, you can also have folks email bugs or feature requests into your backlogs as well.
