<div class="title">Ticket System User Guide for Customers</div>
 
 
 
==Indroduction==
 
Customer with valid support license have access to all their tickets via the Open-Xchange ticket system (OTRS).
 
The ticket system provides additional features for communication between you and Open-xchange, but it is not
 
meant as a full substitution of email conversation. Hence you have still to start new incident requests via email
 
by adding the license key. This user guide gives an overview about the usage and benefits using this interface.
 
 
 
==Preliminary==
 
First you have to know the login name of your Open-Xchange LDB account where you registered the support license key you are
 
using for your requests. If you do not own or activate a valid support key (not maintenance), you don't have access rights
 
to the ticket system. If in doubt, please check via our license portal for a valid license key with '-SaaS-' or '-SUP-'
 
pattern:
 
 
 
  Open-Xchange License Portal URL: https://ldb.open-xchange.com
 
 
 
Please check the used email address of your LDB account via 'Edit your data' inside the license portal, it was used for your
 
ticket system account provisioning and is now disconnected to the LDB settings. Your ticket system and LDB passwords are also
 
disconnected and you have to use the password recovery of the ticket system to set the initial password. If you observe a wrong
 
or improper email address in your LDB settings, please contact the Open-Xchange support so we can use the address of your choice
 
for the ticket system. In case you have created a new LDB account, the ticket system account will be provisioned within 24 hours
 
automatically.
 
 
 
==How to get Access?==
 
The very first time you have to use the password recovery (Forgot password?) with the LDB account name of the following link,
 
further steps are described within an email, you will get to the address explain inside the preliminary section:
 
 
 
  Ticket System Customer URL: https://otrs.open-xchange.com/otrs/customer.pl#Reset
 
 
 
==Ticket System Overview==
 
 
 
After login you will enter the overview page 'My Tickets', this view is sadly misleading because it will list only invalid tickets.

'''Important: You have to switch to 'Tickets' --> 'Company tickets' to get the list for valid tickets.'''
 
 
 
 
 
[[File:SupportTicketSystemCustomerGuide-OverviewCompany.png]]
 
 
 
 
 
'''Overview Top Bar'''
 
  Tickets
 
    My Tickets --> Default view with invalid only tickets
 
    Company tickets --> Relevant company view with valid tickets
 
    Search --> Ticket Search
 
  Preferences --> Password change, language settings, PGP keys, etc ..
 
 
 
==Usage==
 
You will get a direct link by an auto reply after your initial reporting email, hence it should be very easy to navigate to the ticket you are looking for.

Once you opens the ticket detail view, you will get an overview of important details about ticket number, current state and priority within a small box at upper right of the window. Also you will find a reply button at the bottom left on the page.

By clicking on 'Reply' you are able to give us additional details, add attachments up to 1GB size or close the ticket by your self.

==Privacy Data Policy==
 
According to German law, companies are forced to handle any (log) files from customers which contain data
 
related to a third person or has any privacy protection in special way. Even so they have to be deleted
 
once they aren't used any more. To fulfill this requirement, customers and support agents have to keep the
 
readable ticket communication, in form of email/article body, subject or attachment names, free from any
 
privacy data. This can be every thing from names, email addresses, screen-shots, logs files and even
 
credentials to system accounts. This privacy data only has to be hand over in form of attachments which was
 
common practice before. Transfer channels for privacy data are attachments via the ticket system, attachment
 
in encrypted emails or provided by projected download links.
 
 
 
Access to privacy data is mandatory up to three months after a ticket goes into 'closed' state.
 
The closed state represents from Open-Xchange point of view that an issue has been solved without
 
customer verification, the customer has the right to reopen tickets in this period. Hence there
 
is a strong need for keeping integrity of ticket data hand over by the customer until it is ensured
 
not escalation or even contract penalties take place.
 
 
 
Open-Xchange introduced a weekly deletion process, the deletion work on ticket attachments and on
 
raw email files which are affected by attachments. The automatic deletion of privacy data takes place weekly at
 
Sunday and affects tickets which are since 90 days in a 'closed' state. This deletion process checks and handles
 
the hole ticket stock, regardless on queues or if they are proceeded before.
