What are projects?

Each ticket in your Fieldcode work place belongs to one project, whereas you are allowed to create as many projects as required to display and structure your delivery. Projects can reflect contracts with different customers to split tickets by category or other features. That depends on your preferences and use cases. Nonetheless, splitting tickets by customer gives you the best way to analyze KPIs and keep Service Level Agreements in focus.

    By default, you can choose between Manual & Interface and Interface only
    (For beginners, we suggest: Manual & Interface).
    Interface + Manual: Tickets can be created inside the Fieldcode work place and an external interface for having tickets delivered into the system can also be used.
    Interface only: Tickets can only be created by an external interface.
  5. Select if your new or existing project should consider a skill-based selection of engineers.
  6. Select if the Parts tab should be available for your new or existing project.
  7. Select if tickets for this project are not allowed to violate the LSDT.
    LSDT violation means that tickets are allowed to expire the LSDT.
  8. Click Save.

2. (Optional) Data security tab

Copy the URL link to this section to share

The anonymization functionality allows you to overwrite certain data fields inside Fieldcode work place after the retention days have passed to give you the option to comply with GDPR and data security regulations.

The blind text box can be left blank if you do not want to think about a word or phrase and it will still show no text.

  1. Select if you want to enable data anonymization for this project by turning the toggle right.
  2. Insert a number of days in the retention days window if you want to set an offset of days until resolved tickets should get anonymized.
  3. Select the fields you want to anonymize by toggling the items you want to anonymize to the right.

Let’s say you want to anonymize the Affected person’s company and the Affected person’s primary phone number.

What you would do is toggle those two toggles to the right and insert a blind text in the right blind text box with a text that should be displayed instead (e.g. PRIVATE).

The blind text box can be left blank if you do not want to think about a word or phrase and it will still show no text.
