Deskpro Horizon Release 2023.18

Authors list

We’re pleased to announce the release of Deskpro Horizon, version 2023.18. This release includes several new features our team has been developing, general improvements to product functionality and interface, and several bug fixes.


New Features

✨ More objects can now be translated from the Admin Drawers

We’ve expanded the availability of our Admin translation UI for several different helpdesk items. Previously, only some titles were available to translate directly from their menu in the Admin interface, while other titles had to be managed through the Custom Phrase interface (SC 105065).

Now, the titles for objects such as Chat Departments, Ticket Custom Fields, and Community Statuses will be translatable from the relevant menu, making it easier to manage translations.

✨ We added new functionality to the sorting preferences for Help Center to make the preferences consistent for Agents when managing Knowledgebase Articles, News Posts, and Files (SC 96671). The changes we’ve implemented are:

  • Added a loading state to indicate that there are more items in the list.

  • The sorting preferences will be remembered to make it easier to navigate content when going back to a view.


Latest Improvements

💅 We improved the navigation for Knowledgebase articles, now if you are within a category you can select the Parent Category and be taken back to the top level. Where previously, this wouldn’t return you to the top-level category.

💅 We’ve added icons into the Ticket Reply box for App actions to ensure you can easily remove them if required (SC 82887).

💅 We made further improvements to the Ticket Preview menu (SC 89755):

  • It is now accessible in Kanban View

  • The menu will now remain open if the ticket leaves the Queue

  • We added some tooltips to enhance clarity as well as other smaller UI improvements like keeping the color of the Star consistent.

💅 We removed some outdated validation rules for built-in fields to avoid confusion (SC 108295).

💅 We added a notification to let you know if a Help Center Template hasn’t been saved successfully (SC 97744).
