Sorry for not having the time to go through all 47 pages of discussion, but I have a question here.
What is the actual use of Departments? I mean I can't understand what it is used for. I understand you associate a user group with a department, but what does this mean? Is the department responsible for answering the tickets? Or is the department a designation of which usergroup the ticket was issued from?
Any clarification will be greatly appreciated, as this hack can help us solve some computer-related questions we receive.
Also, I do not see any permissions for which user group can reply to a ticket. I would like to set up my helpdesk, so that some user groups can submit tickets, and some other groups can answer them. How can I do it?
Well, never mind my previous post, I downloaded and installed this hack, after I modified it to suit our site needs. I found several good points in this hack, but also several things I found problematic, one of which ended me sending a PM to all my members. So I guess, I should click on Install.
