Configure CC lists for ticket categories

Configure CC lists for ticket categories

You can automatically notify users, or groups of users, when tickets are filed in specified categories, such as hardware, software, or networking. To do this, add email addresses to the CC List value of each ticket category.

Configuring the CC List values of ticket categories is useful if you want to notify users, or groups of users, when tickets are filed in categories that interest them. For example, you could add all of your system administrators to the CC List of the Network category to ensure that they are notified of networking issues as they arise.

If you have multiple queues, you configure the ticket category CC List values for each queue separately.

1.
Go to the Service Desk Queue Detail 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, click Create and manage queues in Queue section.
d.
Display the Queue Detail page by doing one of the following:
▪
Click the name of a queue.
▪
Select Choose Action > New.
2.
In the Email on Events tab, select all of the check boxes under the Category CC column. See Configure email triggers.
3.
Click Save.
4.
In the Queues section, select the Customize field.
5.
In the Category Values tab, add email addresses to the CC List entries:
a.
Click the Edit button in a category row: .
b.
In the CC List field, enter a default email address for the category. Use commas to separate email addresses. To enter multiple email addresses, consider using a distribution list.
c.
Click Save at the end of the row.
d.
Repeat this process to add CC List entries for other categories.
6.
Click Save at the bottom of the page.

Create a default email address for ticket owners. See Create the DefaultTicketOwners account.

Automatically add email addresses to ticket CC List fields

Automatically add email addresses to ticket CC List fields

You can enable Service Desk to automatically add email addresses to the CC List field of tickets whenever those addresses appear in the To and Cc fields of tickets submitted or updated through email.

When this setting is enabled, any email addresses in the To and Cc fields are automatically added to ticket CC List fields unless those addresses are specified in the System Email Exclusion List. See Exclude addresses from ticket CC List fields.

* 
NOTE: If your Service Desk was created on an appliance running version 6.3 or earlier, this setting is disabled by default. If the Organization component is enabled on your system, and you create a new organization, however, the setting is enabled by default. The setting is also enabled on new KACE SMAs running version 6.4 or later.
1.
Go to the Service Desk Settings 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, click Service Desk Email Preferences in the Email Configuration section.
2.

Configure the email exclusion list to prevent Service Desk from automatically adding unwanted email addresses to ticket CC List fields. See Exclude addresses from ticket CC List fields.

Exclude addresses from ticket CC List fields

Exclude addresses from ticket CC List fields

Service Desk can automatically add email addresses to ticket CC List fields when tickets are submitted or updated through email. However, some addresses, such as distribution lists and general company email addresses, should not be added automatically because they increase unnecessary email traffic. To prevent Service Desk from adding unwanted email addresses, you can specify the email addresses you want to exclude.

The email exclusion list is an appliance-level setting. If the Organization component is enabled on your appliance, the email exclusion list is applied to all organizations and Service Desk queues.

* 
NOTE: The email addresses associated with Service Desk queues are never automatically added to ticket CC List fields, because sending messages to these addresses could result in new tickets being opened inadvertently. You do not need to add these addresses to the exclusion list.
1.
Go to the Service Desk Settings 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.

4.
In the Add Email dialog, type an email address, then click Save.
The email address is added to the exclusion list.

Prevent email loops

Prevent email loops

When tickets are submitted or updated through email, Service Desk sends ticket notifications to respective parties. However, if one or more users who receive such email reply with an automated Out of Office response, Service Desk reacts with another ticket update and yet another email notification, potentially causing an infinite email loop.

You can prevent the Service Desk from processing an email when an Out of Office response is received. You also have an option to stop sending email notifications when a high number of incoming ticket-related emails is detected. Any emails that cause the Service Desk to stop sending email notifications are logged.

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.
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.
3.
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.
