My experience has taught me that a good knowledgebase means an informed customer, a happy customer, and less time spent answering support tickets; and if I use the anonymous support system you are offering my customers will no longer have access to the knowledgebase I’ve created in H-Sphere. Of course, I could offer a knowledgebase elsewhere on my site, but that could get confusing for my customers who see links to a knowledgebase on their support ticket system but no knowledge contained within.
I asked because of this statement found here: “Your clients could also submit tickets via email to an email address similar to this: [email protected]. Emails to this address are accepted as tickets and are put in the support queue. The client would receive an email giving them their ticket ID and the estimated response time.”
Is it not possible for me to install my own version of Cerberus and route the support queries via email, as stated above?
Also, when you started offering anonymous reseller support services the support links within H-Sphere began opening in a new window. I can understand this if I was taking advantage of the Cerberus Help Desk, but I’m not at the moment and I don’t care for the pop-up. Can this be resolved?
I asked this question on March 26th, 2005 (see ticket #NPV-50978-464) and never received a response.
Since we can’t customize the interface, would it be possible to eliminate the logos in the graphic header of the support center for everyone? I think it’s confusing to see “Web Media Group” and “Cerberus” at the top since most users will have no clue what that is, they might think they’re on another site. Replacing those two logos with an ambiguous statement like “24x7 Support Center” centered in that space would be better IMO. Then I can wrap that window in a frame and not have three logos fighting for attention.
So how much would it cost us to run the help desk on our site and support our clients by our self? I love the helpdesk just not the idea of offering personal support.
