2.3.0
Release Details
| Release Date | 5th January 2018 |
|---|---|
| Release Type | Stable - Major |
Important Notes
Please read Upgrading to 2.3 from 2.2 for important changes in this release.
Notable Changes
- PHP 7.1 and PHP 7.2 support - SupportPal now supports the current stable versions of PHP, requiring ionCube v10 (minimum v10.1 for PHP 7.2) loaders to be installed.
- Forward tickets to third-parties - Whole or part of a ticket, or just a specific message, can now be forwarded directly from the help desk to third-parties. The email can be sent from the department email address or from the operator's own email address (to make the email seem more personal), and the subject and message contents can be edited as needed too. The forward is logged within the ticket and makes it easier to track for all operators.
- Link tickets together - Tickets can now be linked together making it easier to view related tickets. Split tickets are now linked automatically, and a new option to create a new linked ticket based off a specific message has been added.
- All ticket users kept in the loop - If a ticket has CC email addresses, any reply by one of the users (be it the main ticket user or one of the CC users) will email an update to the other users to keep them up to date with what is happening from both sides.
- Dependent custom fields - Custom fields can now depend on another custom field (options type only), displaying only if a specific value is selected.
- Custom field regex validation - Text-based custom field types can now be validated with regex, with the ability to define a custom error message to be shown if the regex does not pass.
- Ticket, user and user organisation custom field conditions - Custom fields can now be used as conditions in the feedback forms, filtering, macros and SLA plans.
- Improved warnings when deleting records - The system now displays improved warnings of what may happen when you delete a record that may trigger the deletion of additional data. For significant (and uncommon to delete) records, such as departments, you will need to check a list of what else will also be deleted before you can complete the deletion.
