The Easy Process of Setting Up a Request

Setting up a request can be a quick and easy process, especially if you have a clear idea of the type of request, category, stages, and routes that you need to set up. The first step is to decide on the type of request you want to create, which will help you assign it to a relevant category based on the customer's problem. Once you have defined the category, you can proceed to define the stages that the request will go through during processing, such as "In Progress," "Reopened," and "Closed." Finally, you'll need to write the routes for the request, which are the steps that the request will follow as it moves through each stage.

The "View Flow" tab allows you to see a visual representation of your customized workflow, displaying the various stages involved in request handling and the corresponding route.

Request Submission from Website

After creating and submitting a request, your customers can easily check the status of their request or communicate with your support team by sending a message in the relevant request thread. This feature allows them to stay informed and engaged throughout the request process.

Requests processing

Once a request is submitted on the website, it will appear in the Requests tab. From there, the user can assign the request to a responsible person who will work on resolving the issue. The user can also write a message to the customer to inform them that the request has been received and is being processed. This helps to keep the customer informed and up-to-date on the status of their request.

I was having trouble with installing the free version under Odoo 13. Dmytro Katyukha responded promptly and resolved the issue. Look at following link to find instruction how to install it: https://www.odoo.com/documentation/11.0/setup/install.html#source-install (look for "Less CSS via nodejs") The problem being you need to install nodejs and then the node js module that provides lessc for compatibility with Odoo 11. The low rating I gave was not because of the product but because I didn't understand a camera icon is a star rating and then was unable to change it,, something Odoo should fix. Also I should have posted the comment in the Discuss section, not the Ratings section.

Hi, You have to install lessc compiler. Please, check following url for documentation: https://www.odoo.com/documentation/11.0/setup/install.html#id3 and look for "Less CSS via nodejs" keyword for installation instructions. The guide is for Odoo 11.0 but this part is same for 12.0 and 13.0 PS: It is recommender to run production odoo installations on linux. Take a look at https://github.com/crnd-inc/crnd-deploy for en easy way to install Odoo on linux. PSS: For better support please, use our service desk at https://crnd.pro/requests

You try to install module 'bureaucrat_helpdesk_lite' that depends on module 'crnd_wsd'. But the latter module is not available in your system. How do I resolve this?

When you download helpdesk lite, you have to receive a set of addons, and all of them have to be added to odoo path. It seems that you forgot to install dependencies of helpdesk-lite (they have to be present in archive you downloaded) Also, helpdesk lite is available on github: https://github.com/crnd-inc/bureaucrat-helpdesk-lite


Be carefull...

This module is absolutly no free ! For nothing (money) you have nothing ! To make it working with basic fonctionnality, you have to buy expensives addons (for example to receive a mail when a ticket is created you have to pay 100 € !!). So search other addons which will do more for less money...

Answered for 12.0. Copying comment here. Hi, Thanks for your comment. It is possible to configure helpdesk lite to receive email on ticket create. By default, notification on request created will be sent to author of request (to confirm that request was created providing its number). If you want to receive notifications when request is created, then you need to subsicribe on Request Type (there is subscription type Request Created), and you will receive notification for each created request (in usual way odoo work). And yes, if you want to receive nice email with custom template, you need to buy addon Generic Request (Actions), that allows you to execute custom actions on different request events. But again, it is still possible to do same in free version: you only need to install base_automation module, and create standard odoo's automated action, that will call custom mail template. Few more things, we have regular releases that introduce new features and improvements, and a lot of improvements are maid to free versions. Just take a look at our latest release https://crnd.pro/blog/bureaucrat-itsm-1/post/new-bureaucrat-release-53. And it is essential that we want to get some benefit for our efforts. Additionally, we have good test coverage for our product (near 94%), and our code works well. We activelly support versions from 11.0 to 13.0 (including free version). Additionally, some times we move some paid features to our free app. For example in last release we have merged into core Request Kinds, and Priorities, that were paid before. In next release few more features will be merged into core, and new features will be added to paid versions. But thanks again for your comment, may be we will add some documentation on configuration of free version. Maybe not. But thanks.
