DeskDay August 2024 Product Update Note: Setting New Standards in the MSP Industry

This August, we’re shaking things up at DeskDay with some seriously cool features that are all set to transform the way MSPs work. We’re introducing Multi-ticketing, Watchlist, and Message Hub—each one designed to make your service desk slicker, quicker, and more efficient than ever before.

These aren’t just upgrades; they’re a whole new way of tackling the day-to-day challenges MSPs face. Read the release note to see how smoothly your operations can run when you have the right capabilities at your fingertips.

Multi-Ticketing

By streamlining multiple ticket management, multi-ticketing addresses a common pain point in traditional service desks: the inability to manage multiple tickets simultaneously effectively. This feature allows techs to pin up to seven tickets, enabling them to work on all of them effortlessly without toggling ticket windows or losing context. 

With live ticket timers, techs can monitor the time spent on each issue, ensuring prioritization and timeliness. Multi-ticketing transforms the service desk workflow by reducing the cognitive load and increasing efficiency, allowing techs to handle urgent tasks alongside routine inquiries, thus elevating the overall productivity and responsiveness of MSPs.

Watchlist

By keeping critical tickets, tasks, and projects just a click away, Watchlist helps MSPs quickly access high-priority or frequently referenced items without searching the entire Service desk system. Techs can customize the Watchlist as priorities shift and reduce stress by ensuring every critical task is readily available as a memory aid, always within easy reach. This streamlined access transforms how techs manage time and priorities, keeping them efficient and focused.

Message Hub

DeskDay’s Message Hub centralizes messages in a single, accessible location, reducing the need to toggle between screens or dig through multiple tickets to find and reply to conversations. Instant notifications ensure no message is missed, facilitating quicker responses and continuous progress on ticket resolutions. By streamlining communication, Message Hub helps MSPs improve operational efficiency and enhance the end-user experience by accelerating issue resolution.
