Major Flaw - tickets get permanently deleted if a contact is deleted
This is a major flaw. We have no idea how many tickets we have lost because of this.
Tickets should be linked to the customer not the contact.
Contacts can be employees who might get fired, quit or come back.
If you delete a contact it should just get hidden so that it can't be used on new tickets. And the contact should still show up on old tickets and should be allowed to be used in reporting.
And there should be a way to show deleted contacts incase the employee comes back.701 votesHey all,
I am happy to let you know we've added the option to deactivate contacts without deleting their tickets!
Once you deactivate/archive an end-user, their tickets will remain in the system, but you will see an indication on both their tickets and the end-user page that they are archived.
You will not be able to open new tickets on their behalf as long as they are deactivated, and of course you can always activate them back.
You can read more about the feature in this KB: https://support.atera.com/hc/en-us/articles/9357206583580-Manage-users#Deactivateuser
We hope you enjoy this new addition to Atera and as always, thank you for voting on ideas and shaping the product to be better and better with each new release.

Default form/template for tickets
I have created Ticket Form Templates. There is no way for the FORM selection to be mandatory. What good is the template if they just select none and type a description?
The selection of a Form Template must be a mandatory option.28 votesHey all,
The ability to set a default form for tickets is now avalibale. When viewing your form templates, you can select a deafult form which will be applied to all newly created tickets.
You can read more about it here: https://support.atera.com/hc/en-us/articles/10190669862428-Ticket-form-templates#Setdefaultformtemplate
We hope you enjoy this new addition!

Notification on Ticket Assignment
When a technician assigns a ticket to another tech, it would be useful to send a notification that a ticket has been assigned to them. We are struggling with finding a straightforward solution when time-sensitive tickets need to be responded to by another tech quickly because of a lack of notification options.
84 votesHey,
This is possible via Atera's ticket automation rules using the "Ticket assignment changed" trigger and the "Send email to technician action", allowing you to send an email to a technician upon assignment.
For more on ticket automation rules please see this KB: https://support.atera.com/hc/en-us/articles/360018434920-Ticket-automation-rules
Hope this helps!

Sync Phone number with Azure AD
There a not many contact fields synced with Azure AD. An important way is contact our customers via telephone (not mobile) - and that is missing. Also important is the field office or addresses. Because we have customers with more than one location.
51 votesHey,
I'm happy to update you that we are now retrieving the AzureAD (Entra ID) Business phone field into the "Phone" field upon sync with Atera.
We hope you enjoy this new addition, and as always, thank you for helping shape Atera to be better every day.

Ticket Templates/Forms
It would be helpful to have ticket templates/ticket option type for the end user creating a ticket.
For example, the end user is requesting a new hire setup. They would be able to go to create a ticket and have the option to select "New Hire" ticket. Then, fields would appear that have been customized by the admin.
On the other hand, maybe even having an option create a form for end users to fill out and generates a ticket.
134 votesHey all,
I am excited to announce that ticket forms/templates are now avalibale in Atera!
This brand new feature allows you to curate and customize different forms, thus controlling the order and appereance of different custom fields on a ticket level.
Forms are supported in both the technicai nand portal side of things. We hope this feature will be extremely beneficial for your internal processes such as Employee onboarding, service requests, etc.
The feature is supported for our users leveraging the new ticket page UI, which is currently being rolled out to all of our customers.

Show newly CC'd emails in a ticket reply
Contacts sometimes do not cc the required end user on their initial request. Then when they do cc them it is not shown in atera at all and that address is also not populated into the cc field. The only way to actualyl see the cc'd address is to log into the mailbox used for the atera ticketing and locate who was cc'd.
This should be adjusted to allow us to view exactly who a ticket reply was sent to and cc'd to for each message sent and received.
5 votesHey all,
Happy to share that from now on, addresses that were CCed by end users will be reflected in the ticket conversastion.
We hope this new minor yet important improvement will help your day to day!
Thank you for the suggestion and effort to make Atera better,

Auto Refresh Atera Ticket Management Interfaces
Since it is quite difficult for us to manually refresh the Atera ticket management interfaces each time we want to see the most recent ticket modifications, it would be a huge improvement if this happened automatically. This would also reduce response times.
24 votesHey all,
I am happy to let you know we have now implemented measures to automatically refresh the new ticket page in real time when any information changes on it.
This will help teams to collaborate and be aware of changes to tickets in real time, along with the "On this ticket" indication on the top right of each ticket.
This connects to our constant updating of the tickets list page, which was already present in the system.
We hope you enjoy this new improvement.

Please allow disabling personal signatures on internal notes.
48 votesHey all,
We are happy to let you know the signature is will no longer be included in internal notes in Atera's ticket page.
Upon changing a response from public to internal, the system will find the HTML code used to compose your signature and remove it.
We hope you enjoy this addition and enjoy a cleaner internal conversation documentation.
Thank you for helping shape Atera for the better,

Option to NOT send an email to client when opening a ticket
Ability to open a ticket and NOT send an email to that customer.
Or ability to add contacts to the same email address and send the ticket email to that email address.252 votesHey everybody,
The ability to open tickets without sending an email to clients actually exists in the system and depends on the automation rules you have set.
We made a short video to help you achieve this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zthRPdv9E-4
In general - Atera will not email the end-user when you or they open a ticket unless you have an automation rule set up.
If you'd like, you can also make this setting more granular by creating customization around "silent tickets", please see this KB in order to achieve that: https://support.atera.com/hc/en-us/articles/234995088-Create-a-Silent-Ticket-
Please note the attached video above also covers that.
Last, if you'd like to email someone else/ change the requestor, you may change them by clicking the little pencil next to the requestor's name.
Hope this helps, but please feel free to contact our support team via email/ live chat if you'd like more assistance.
All the best,

Time Entry easier display
It would be interesting to be able to see the description of the time entry on a ticket in an easy way.
However, we are obliged to click on "Actions" then "time entry" then click on modify to read the content.
167 votesHey all,
I am happy to let you know we've improved the accessabilty to the time entry notes in the new ticket UI and save you clicks.
In the new UI, time entries that have notes attached to them can be viewed directly from the time entries list upon hovering on the note icon.
I've attached a screenshot for your convenience.
Down the line, we will consider adding the time entries and their notes to the feed of the ticket for even easier view.
Hope you enjoy this new improvement!

Custom Ticket Statuses
Custom ticket statuses rather than just 'Open, Pending, Resolved & Closed'
189 votesHey all,
We're happy to announce we've released the ability to create Custom Ticket Statuses in our latest release.
The way to create those would be by going to Admin > Custom Fields > Tickets and heading into the "Status" field.
You can read more about it here: https://support.atera.com/hc/en-us/articles/215952967-Add-Custom-Fields-#h_01FWXWNGEBY7T18N5YYANJHK69
We plan to introduce more granularity into the behavior of these statuses later this quarter, and to allow you to chose the behavior of the statuses (act as "pending", "resolved" etc.).
For the time being, we hope you and other users can start leveraging the feature with the given functionality already :)

Flag to show if an engineer is working on a ticket
As most helpdesk engineers are working remotely a flag would help to show another user is actively working on the ticket.

Currently, it will be visible on the top right corner of each ticket screen.

Ability to change the Ticket Activity Status
Many times throughout the day a customer will make a comment to someone cc'd on the ticket if they do not have an answer for us.
The Ticket status changes to "AWAITING TECHNICIAN RESPONSE" when they have not answered our question.
We need a way to change the Ticket status from "AWAITING TECHNICIAN RESPONSE" back to what it should be "AWAITING CUSTOMER RESPONSE".

151 votesHey everybody,
We're happy to announce we've released the option to manually edit the ticket activity status, on top of the existing automatic mechanism.
This can be done both from the main tickets page and the single ticket page.

Ticket Deletion
Create a ticket deletion permission option in the PSA technician settings without needing to give a technician full admin rights
16 votesHey everybody,
We're happy to share that the ability to grant ticket deletion (and merging) permissions is now live for all users!
To grant these permissions, simply go into any role under Admin > Roles (or create a new role) and make sure you do the needed adjustments. This of course comes on top of Admins being able to merge and delete tickets by default.
Thank you for helping us shape Atera for the better, we hope you enjoy this update!
