If you select Preferences this will open a menu where you can customize areas of your Agent Profile, and set up personal settings for notifications and security.

The menu is divided into tabs where you can edit settings that relate to your account. These are Profile, Security, Preferences, and Notifications.

Note


Any changes you make will not affect other Agents' settings, only your own.

  • Alias - You can choose to set up an Alias by enabling the Display an alias to end users toggle, this lets you choose an Alias Profile image and Alias Name which will display to end-users.

  • Contact Information - Add your contact information, your primary email address will be marked with a blue flag icon.

  • Language and Locale - Select your timezone and language.

  • Signature - Create a personal signature which will be appended to each response you send.

Setting a signature will save you time when replying to tickets by automatically appending your signature whenever you send a reply.

When you have a signature set it will appear in the reply box like this:

Admins control whether you can change your notification preferences. If you have the ability to change your notification this can be done from the Notifications tab.

From here you can determine which helpdesk events you want to be notified of. These are divided into Tickets, IM, Tasks, Help Center, CRM, My Account, you can set which notifications you want by toggling the notification preferences on or off across each of the Notification tabs.

There are separate columns for email and browser notifications so you can choose which notifications you receive about events by email, on your browser, or both.
