Electronic signatures

New optional submodule of the Basic module
This submodule allows you to sign documents electronically.
It is necessary to have an SMS gateway!
In Settings / Documents / My templates, you can specify whether a given document requires a client/provider signature. You can also specify whether there must be one or two provider signatures.
In Settings / Administrators / Administrators in the Personal data section, you can enable/disable the option to sign documents (checkbox Sign documents).
In Settings / Other / SMS templates, you can set up an authorization SMS template. Authorization code variable: %s .
In Client card / Documents, there are three new signature-related columns. In the Client signature column, you can submit a given document to the client for signature. In the Provider signatures column, you can sign the document on behalf of the provider. In the Handwritten signature column, you can specify that the document is to be signed by hand. There is also a new button Sign on behalf of the client.
In Client portal / Documents, there is a new column Electronic signature and a new button Documents to be signed. If there is at least one document to be signed, the client can sign the document(s) here. They can click on an icon in the column or on the above-mentioned button. If they do so, a window appears that contains a list of documents to be signed. Once the documents are chosen, they can ask for an SMS code. Then, they enter the code into the field provided and confirm the action.
If there is at least one unsigned document, the Unsigned documents widget appears in the Alerts section of Dashboard. This widget contains information about the relevant client, document, status and time elapsed.
The following variables have been added to the list of system variables:
- $SIGNATURE_DATE$ – Signature date (provider)
- $SECOND_SIGNATURE_DATE$ – Second signature date (provider)
- $SIGNATURE_SIGN_BY$ – First name and surname (provider)
- $SECOND_SIGNATURE_SIGN_BY$ – First name and surname, second signature (provider)
- $CLIENT_SIGNATURE_ID$ – Client signature unique identifier
- $CLIENT_SIGNATURE_DATE$ – Signature date (client)
- $CLIENT_SIGNATURE_SIGN_BY$ – First name and surname (client)
- $CLIENT_SIGNATURE_MOBILE$ – Mobile phone number (client)

If you are interested, please contact our Sales department.

Send documents via Helpdesk

Client card / Documents
When you click on the Send document to the client button, the original form with an additional Create ticket option appears.
When you check the Create ticket box, the relevant ticket settings appear. You can choose a department, owner, priority and status. You can also add a note to the ticket. Since the sender email address is the same as the department address, the Sender item is hidden.
If the checkbox is not checked, everything works the same as before the change.
Once the ticket is created, you can click on the provided link to get to the ticket details.

Simple queue

New optional submodule of the Network management and monitoring module
It is now possible to perform client speed management on MikroTik routers using the Simple queue method.
This method does not use packet mangling, which is why all client-related rules are removed from the MANGLE section of the firewall. As a result, CPU load is reduced. Rules in the QUEUE TREE section are removed as well because they will not be used. The rule removal applies only to those rules that are managed by ISPadmin.
Settings / Syst. settings / Mikrotik:
- Item mikrotik_default_shaping_type: You can set the default shaping type here.
- Item mikrotik_default_queue_type: You can set the default queue type here.
MikroTik router settings: In the Shaping type and Queue type items, you can set particular values for a given MikroTik router.
If the submodule is not active, the above-mentioned options are not available.
If you are interested, please contact our Sales department.

Quasi-links

In addition to the classic links, it is now possible to add so-called quasi-links to the system.
On the Add/Edit link form, you need to check the Quasi-link box.
Uniqueness of links between devices and POPs does not apply to quasi-links.
Quasi-links are not displayed on the map or diagram. They are displayed only in the lists of links in the Links and End links tabs and in the list of links in the POP card.
They cannot be set to active. As far as monitoring is concerned, they are not taken into account.

Multi mode for links

On the Add/Edit link form, you can check the Multi mode box.
This option allows you to deactivate the restriction that forbids you from using one device interface more than once (for example, due to PtMP).
Interfaces on offer are updated based on whether the checkbox is checked or not.
An interface can be used in more than one link, but it is necessary for all the links to be in Multi mode.

Helpdesk – statistics

New optional submodule of the Helpdesk module
This submodule allows you to view Helpdesk ticket statistics.
You can view the number of new tickets, new replies, unassigned tickets, deleted tickets, open tickets and closed tickets. You can use period, user and department filters. Graph widgets are also available.
The statistics can be found in Helpdesk / Statistics / Statistics.
To be able to view them, you need to have the active submodule and your user account must be set properly (Settings / Administrators / Administrators).
The user account settings contain a new item: System color. This color is used in graphs for a given user.
If you are interested, please contact our Sales department.

Ticket notification settings

The basic notification settings can be found in the User settings. You can get there by clicking on the corresponding icon in the top panel.
In the settings, you can specify for which actions and for which departments notifications are to be created.
Now you can also activate ot deactivate notifications for individual tickets.
If you assign yourself to a ticket, notifications for that ticket are automatically activated. You can deactivate them using the Bell icon.
If another user is assigned to a ticket, you can activate notifications for that ticket.
All of that applies if you have activated notifications for the given department in the User settings. If notification for the department are not active, no Bell icon appears in the ticket details.

NAV Online Invoice data reporting (HU localization)

This feature allows you to report your invoice data to the NAV Online Invoice data reporting system.

One-time dealer commission

Settings / Syst. settings / General: A new setting has been added to the list: di_repeated_onetime_commission.
