    Customer Service Ticketing: More granular availability options

    16-Mar-2010
    If you are using the Customer Service Ticketing feature inside your business, now your customer service representatives have access to more granular control around when they receive customer cases. Previously a customer service rep would either be available or not available to receive customer cases. However now, a customer service rep can make themselves unavailable but still receive replies to existing cases assigned to them. This is useful in the case of a manager who may handle escalated cases and wants to continue to receive further communication on that case, but does not wish to receive new customer cases.
