Resources
Technician Impacts
- The ticket feed includes a new communications filter. Click the new button to limit the feed to user communications and notes. Users can choose to see the communication feeds within their profile settings.
- Last feed entry options are added to ticket reporting sources: Last Communication Comment, Last Communication User, Last Communication Email, Last Feed Entry, and Last Feed Entry user.
- The Date/Time picker is updated to use a new style.
- When adding a task template to a ticket, the checkbox 'Remove all existing tasks' is unchecked by default. Users need to check it in order to remove existing tasks.
- When creating and editing a ticket schedule, the assets lookup field allows for entering multiple assets.
- Knowledge Base articles have a Print Article button button that opens a formatted print view of the article, and users can select the sections that they would like to print.
- Technicians are able to set their signature. A new form will be available to allow individuals to create, update or remove a signature that is automatically added to new comments and/or replies to tickets and tasks.
Administrator Impacts
- URLS are rendered as hyperlinks For notification templates that contain a summary section table, this causes notifications to shrink to the size of the URL.
- WORK AROUND: For notification templates that contain a summary section table. Add the tag, <table width="100%">, before the table section above "<!-- Spacing Row -->". Reference our notification template doc
- For TDX Global Admins Only: The Email Signatures page in TDAdmin contains a list view of common images from emails, and allows blocking these images.
- Automatic detection of duplicate images on the same item occurs automatically. Images are defined by TDX as .bmp, .gif, .jpg, .jpeg, .png
- When editing a choice, approval, or task step within the workflow builder in TDAdmin, a recurring notification reminder can be set to remind the assignee until the step is completed. Administrators can also customize a new "Ticket Workflow Step Reminder" notification template for these notifications.
- Knowledge Base articles send notification reminders about upcoming review dates by default in production environments. This can be changed within the article settings. Within the Settings for a Client Portal application in TDAdmin, admin users can set the interval at which these reminder notifications are sent. The default interval is 14 days before the review date.
- A new setting is added to the client portal application to set a default value for the "Notify Owner on Feedback" option on new articles.
- A new property, isCommunication, is added to API endpoints for TeamDynamix.Api.Feed.ItemUpdate and TeamDynamix.Api.Feed.FeedEntry classes, in order to classify feed entries as Communication-type. New properties for the technician signature are added to the People API to view or set the technician signature:
- POST /api/people
- GET /api/people/{uid}
- PATCH /api/people/{uid}
- POST /api/people/{uid}
