About Ticket Rules

About Ticket Rules

If the standard email behavior does not meet your needs, you can use Ticket Rules to change the behavior.

For more information about Ticket Rules, see Using Ticket Rules.

Many of the more complex Ticket Rules, such as modifying the behavior of email notifications, are published on the Quest Support site, https://support.quest.com/contact-support.

About POP3 email accounts

About POP3 email accounts

You can configure the appliance to receive email from POP3 servers.

To do so, you need to:

•
Enable and configure an external SMTP server in the appliance network settings. See Use an external SMTP server or Secure SMTP server.
•
Optional. Configure Service Desk email preferences. See Configure email preferences.
•
Configure SMTP server and POP3 settings in Service Desk ticket queues. See Configure queue-specific email settings.

If you do not use a POP3 email server, you can use the KACE SMA's built-in SMTP server to accept incoming email messages from your internal email server.

Important:
 
IMPORTANT: The appliance POP3 email server must pass authentication information and the email text itself as clear text.

Create and configure POP3 email accounts

Create and configure POP3 email accounts

You can create and configure POP3 email accounts for use by the Service Desk users and staff.

The two accounts are:

•
Support@mydomain.com. This email address is used to:
◦
Receive all new tickets when they are created.
◦
Allow users and Service Desk staff to automatically create and modify tickets.
◦
Serve as the email address to which your users can reply.

The email delivered to this address is not read, but Service Desk staff is notified of the ticket changes resulting from the email.

•
DefaultTicketOwners@mydomain.com. This email alias is used to:
◦
Allow Service Desk staff to communicate with each other.
◦
Allow the appliance to send automated email notification about new and open tickets.
1.
Create Support@mydomain.com as a valid email address on your POP3 email server.
2.
Configure DefaultTicketOwners@mydomain.com as the Service Desk staff email alias, and add all of your Service Desk staff email addresses to it. This is the general-purpose email alias that your Service Desk staff uses to communicate with each other.
3.
If you want to use an external SMTP server used by the appliance, configure it on the Network Settings page in the System Administration Console. See Change appliance network settings.
Tip:
 
TIP: If you want to use POP3 for Service Desk ticket emails, you can configure the POP3 settings on the queue level.
4.
Optional. Configure Service Desk email preferences. See Configure email preferences.
5.
If you want to use different SMTP or POP3 settings for each queue, you can specify them on the queue level. See Configure queue-specific email settings.

Configure email preferences

Configure email preferences

You can create and configure preferences for the email sent to and from the Service Desk users and staff.

By default, the Service Desk is configured to use an internal SMTP server for sending ticket-related emails. You have an option to use an external SMTP server, however, you must configure it in the appliance network settings. For more information, see Change appliance network settings.

1.
Go to the Service Desk Email Preferences page:
a.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
b.
On the left navigation bar, click Service Desk, then click Configuration.
c.
On the Configuration panel, in the Email Configuration section, click Configure Email Preferences.
2.
On the Service Desk Email Preferences page that appears, in the Outbound Email tab, select the Include "Reply above this line" text on outbound email communications check box.
It is recommended to use this feature to prevent the entire email chain from being added to each comment.
3.
Specify the text that you want to detect in the email subject. When the Service Desk receives a ticket-related email with the specified subject, it will stop processing that email.
a.
In the Inbound Email tab, in the Ignore emails with following text in the subject field, type the words that you want to detect. You can specify multiple entries, using a semi-colon as a separator. For example: Out of Office;Mail Delivery Failure.
4.
Configure the thresholds for all inbound email notifications during a specific period. When these levels are reached, the Service Desk will stop sending email notifications.
* 
NOTE: When the overall threshold is reached, notifications will pause for all tickets. If a per-ticket threshold is reached, notifications will be paused only for the affected ticket. When the number of email updates in the given period becomes lower than the configured threshold, the notifications will resume.
