Open Ticket

A small, fast and simple Ticket Service designed to solve common problems.

Problems and their solutions

There are many problems in many ticket-systems today.
This Project wants to solve them.

Ticket IDs not human readable

Long IDs, like 20190708000025634 seem simple, but are hard to give via phone or to remember.

Our solution is to accompany each Ticket with a human readable ID like this:
42-red-big-horses
NUMBER [10-99]-adjective-adjective-noun(plural)

A Hash is created to have a unique ID.

Custom Fields

You want to have some custom fields for some tickets but not for all.

Our solution is to save each ticket as JSON-Object, so we can simply add, remove or rename fields here.

Renaming of Information

You add a service to a ticket, but the service is renamed later.
But your ticket should be known under the old service...

No Problem as we keep the info hard in a json. No Problem exporting the Ticket either!

Rights Management

In many solutions, there are big matrices to give everyone the right he needs or not.

We make this very simple, as there are only 4 groups of people:

  • public (everyone, can open a ticket an see his own)
  • agent (can edit tickets)
  • manager (can create reports)

On Top, these groups can be attached to LDAP-Groups or just be filled with users themselves.

Wait, no Admins? Yes, everything they need to change are files on disk. This is the only way to configure the services.

Ticket History

Ticket shall not be tempered with to keep the history consistat

So everytime you add info to a Ticket or edit it, we add this block of information (timestamp, key, value, user) to a chain in the ticket, complete with a hash build from the former blocks.

Sounds like a Blockchain? Think of every Ticket like a mini-Blockchain!

Services

You want to attach every ticket to a service from your catalouge.

We have a simple microservice to publish those!

External Data

You want to add external data (like an item from your CMDB) to a ticket.

Simply use our externalData-Microservice to configure an endpoint to use (this is effectively a source-to-json service)

Automation

We want stuff to happen on tickets, like send a mail on creation or close it after some days. Or deploy a server if the correct fields are there.

All this can be done using the automation-Microservice with the config

Config and Documentation

All Config-Files are JSON-Files on your Disk.

We Recommend using git to keep track of changes.

Customer Data

You want to recognize Customers and not everytime ask all the infos.

On First entry for a customer, its data are not only save to the ticket but to a global customers list, to be avaiable on creating a ticket.

Second Level Notification

Your Backend-Engineers only want to see tickets they can solve.

They may subsribe to one or more filters.
If a filter matches, a mail with the Ticket will be send to the engineer.

Manage Planned / Unplanned Service Outtages

Sometimes a service will be out-of-order, wether planned or not. You dont want every ticket about this service to get trought your service desk.

A Calendar with outage-Date for every service can be procured and is seen on the ticket-Creation.
It may also be visible on the user-portal or any other platform you wanrt.

Reporting

You want information about the system, the tickets, ...

A special micro-service can get these information. Every Report has a config-File in the system, allowing for easy sharing or changing.
