New Features
# | Title | Description |
---|---|---|
66259 | New Business Rule Criterion: X Days After Status Changed | A new column, sys_changestatus_date, has been added to the request table. This column stores the date when the status is changed. Using this as a reference point in time, a Business Rule can be configured to perform an operation after a specified number of days have passed since the last status change.
Rules can be created that will, based on this timer, change statuses of tickets. For example, a ticket that is in a status of "Open" can be changed to the status to "Hold" after 2 days. |
66468 | Reordering Priorities | Priorities can now be arranged manually instead of automatic alphabetical sorting. You no longer have to name your Priorities 01 High, 02 Low, etc., in order for them to appear in the sequence you want in menus. See Setting Priority Order. |
