This feature is a paid add-on. If it is not yet available in your
system, you can add the portal at any time. Please feel free to contact [email protected] for assistance.

When using the Portal, you have the option to enable the ticket module for your customers and partners. This allows them to create new tickets in the Portal – including linking assets, tracking developments on existing tickets, adding information directly and accessing historical tickets.

Note: All tickets assigned to their own organization are generally visible to Portal users. This means that users can view tickets of their own organization. The condition is that ticket access has been granted and not revoked.


Creating tickets in the Portal

On the asset detail page

Customers and partners can directly create a ticket in the asset detail page within the Portal. The advantage is that the asset is automatically linked to the ticket. The Portal user only needs to provide the subject and can, if necessary, add a message – including the option to attach images or files.

Additionally, there is the option to allow Portal users to categorize the ticket and fill in data fields – this varies depending on the configuration. You can find more information about this here.

Note: For questions regarding the configuration of ticket categorization, please contact [email protected].

Of course, the contact information is also pre-filled. Additionally, there is the option to add parts. More details about this can be found here.

In the ticket overview

Also in the Portal, the "Tickets" tab is located in the left navigation bar. Through this tab, Portal users can get an overview of all tickets associated with their own organization. As mentioned earlier, the Portal displays all tickets linked to the organization and for which access has been granted.

The functions and features in the ticket overview are the same as for internal users: Tickets can be searched, sorted and filtered. Additionally, custom views can be created. More information on this can be found, for example, here.

In the ticket overview, it is also possible to add a new ticket. The options are the same as described above. However, no asset is automatically linked by default – it can, however, be manually added.


Ticket detail view in the Portal

The ticket detail view in the Portal for Portal users is a simplified version of the classic view for internal users. Portal users can view all public information here, including:

  • Left Column: Ticket ID and status. Depending on the configuration: categorization and data fields.

  • Middle Column: All emails exchanged within the ticket (no internal notes), as well as files sent as attachments with emails.

  • Right Column: Associations to contacts, assets and parts.

The Portal user can directly reply to emails or add new messages via the corresponding button in the Portal. Communication thus takes place directly through the Portal. Additionally, customers and partners have the ability to quickly and clearly get an overview of open or already closed tickets.


Ticket status in the Portal

The ticket status is also displayed in the Portal, but in a simplified version. Here’s an overview:
