Description

The module "Helpdesk" is used to handle different types of online requests (notices). Notice importance and execution deadlines help better coordinate a request. Notice forms can be attached to existing web sites.

When a reporter fills out a notification form a predefined work flow is triggered. Responsible persons or teams (coordinators) are automatically informed. System-generated e-mail notifications keep all participants of the process up-to-date on the current status.

Request coordinators can attach material and work orders. VisionR users can add notifications on behalf of other reporters (helpdesk over e-mail or phone). Notifications can be linked to facilities in order to have a complete overview of maintenance costs. Standard workflows can be defined in order to fill out automatically responsibilities for handling user requests. When people, responsible for parts of the workflow are missing (e.g. on vacation) representatives have access to their data.
