Introducing Deskpro Horizon
What is Deskpro Horizon?
Deskpro Horizon is the latest version of the Deskpro software, featuring a redesigned interface for both Admins and Agents. While the appearance has been updated, we have preserved the existing functionality to ensure a seamless transition. To help you familiarize yourself with the new version, we offer two video demos: a comprehensive tour for new users and a specialized guide for Agents about to experience the upgrade.
Over time, the name "Horizon" will be phased out, and the product will referred to as Deskpro again.
Migration to Horizon
If you're reading this, your account is likely scheduled for an upgrade. Here's what you need to know:
When will I be migrated?
Your migration date has been scheduled, if you haven’t received a date for migration, please reach out to our team to arrange this.
What happens during the migration?
- We will allocate a 2-hour maintenance window. The upgrade process generally takes 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of your data (put simply - the more tickets, the longer the time).
- Emails received during the upgrade will be stored and processed after the upgrade is complete.
- Chat and Voice services will be temporarily paused during the upgrade.
Will my customers notice any changes?
No changes have been made to customer-facing features like the Help Center or Messenger, so your customers will not notice any difference.
Key Changes to Note
Filters Have Become Queues
In Horizon, we have expanded how you access lists of tickets. The term "Filters" is replaced with "Queues," "Lists," and "Ticket Search":
- Queues: Admin-defined sets of tickets, typically awaiting agent action. They are real-time and can be subscribed to, offering more flexibility than Filters.
- Lists: User or admin-created sets of tickets based on specific criteria, including resolved tickets. Lists require manual refresh and do not show counts.
- Ticket Search: A tool for finding specific tickets using keyword matching and criteria refinement.
Upon upgrade, most custom filters will convert to Lists. The default set of Queues has been updated, so please review them post-upgrade.
Redesigned Admin Interface
The Admin interface has been redesigned for consistency, speed, and ease of use, along with new features. Alongside this, we offer an updated Admin Guide which will help you configure your account:
What do my agents need to know?
We have put together a detailed article for your agents which includes screenshots of major changes and a brief video tour. While change can be daunting, our tests show that agents have been able to quickly adapt within 1-2 hours to the new interface, see the benefits, and are more productive.
We've prepared an article and video tour to help your agents adjust to the new interface. We would encourage you to share it with them before the upgrade to ensure a smooth transition:
