Settings

Set system configurations for the Agents of the help desk including the Password Expiration Policy, the max number of failed login attempts before prompting the “forget password” link, or if they need to be locked out. Agents can also be bound to their IP address for log-in.

Name Formatting: Format for Agents names throughout the system.

Agent Identity Masking: If enabled, this will hide the Agent’s name from the Client during any communication.

Avatar Source: Choice of where you want your Avatars to come from.

Password Expiration Policy: Choose how often Agents will be required to change their password. If disabled, passwords will not expire.

Allow Password Resets: If enabled, displays the Forgot My Password link on the Staff Log-In Page after a failed log in attempt.
