Details for Ideas

Details for idea 1

Support for regular expressions in Generic Agent filters

Description:

The Generic Agent does not support regular expressions in the filter section for attributes, just wildcards like * or %. We would like to see an implementation which allows regular expressions to be used in the text fields of the filter section.

Prerequisite:

  • Perl knowledge

Nice to have:

  • Znuny or OTRS knowledge

Difficulty:

  • easy

Details for idea 2

Support for empty values in Generic Agent filters

Description:

The Generic Agent which is used to perform maintenance and supportive tasks does not support a check for empty values in its filters. We would like see a solution where it is possible to explicitly check for empty values in the filter section.

Prerequisite:

  • Perl knowledge

Nice to have:

  • Znuny or OTRS knowledge

Difficulty:

  • medium

Details for idea 3

Support for negations in conditions for ticket notifications

Description:

Users of the Znuny service desk have the possibility to create custom notifications. These notifications get triggered by specific conditions. We often get the request that a notification should be triggered if a ticket "does not have" a specific value. This is currently not possible and should be implemented.

Prerequisite:

  • Perl knowledge

Nice to have:

  • Znuny or OTRS knowledge

Details for idea 4

Support for inline text modules

Description:

In the Znuny service desk we use CKEditor to create richtext content for emails, notes and replies. We already have an extension which allows to use text modules in a separate widget. We would like to use this as a base for inline text modules. The user should be able to type a special keyword followed by "search keywords" which then get autocompleted to a text module.

Prerequisite:

  • Perl knowledge
  • JavaScript knowledge
  • HTML and CSS knowledge

Nice to have:

  • Znuny or OTRS knowledge

Details for idea 5

Plannable dates for sending emails for tickets

Description:
In the Znuny service desk we send a lot of emails. Sometimes a user would like to send an email for a ticket later at a specific date and time. A user should be able to select a date and time and mark the email for timed delivery. The timed delivery is already technically possible in Znuny but not controllable by the user.

Prerequisite:

  • Perl knowledge
  • JavaScript knowledge
  • HTML knowledge

Nice to have:
