canned_response

Canned responses stages 3 and 4: agents keep canned responses of their own in Your account > Canned Responses (on the standard list with Yours and Shared tabs, how often they used each, change, copy, archive and delete their own, Copy to yours from a shared one), offered to them alone and first in the picker as Yours; Save your reply as a canned response at the foot of the picker opens the draft with the ticket's contact, first name, client, ticket number, subject, link and agent swapped back to placeholders (canned_response_unfill, text only, a one-word subject left alone), offered on the ticket's category with a switch to put it back as written, and saves it in JSON without leaving the ticket so the reply stays and the new one goes straight into the picker; Admin > Canned Responses gains an Agents' own tab showing whose each is with Share with everyone, copies made there are shared, and admins can share their own or tick Share when saving a reply; files go with a response (Files tab, up to ten of the ticket attachment kinds, kept in uploads/canned_responses/<id>/, streamed by agent/canned_response_file.php to those who may use it), shown as chips under the picker with an x to leave one off, copied onto the ticket with the reply and sent with its email on a ticket and in Update & Reply; migration 3.2.4 adds canned_response_user_id and canned_response_created_by and the canned_response_files table, existing responses staying shared; the response window moves to includes/canned_response_form.php for the admin and account windows; export and import (functions/canned_response_transfer.php) of one, some or every shared response as a versioned JSON file with categories by name, what it sets up, status by name and files as base64, importing as shared with categories matched or made and leave, add as well or replace (keeping use and archived state), everything made safe and refused files named; an MSP starter pack of 27 canned responses in Starter Content loaded through the same import, with Update for the ones already added, and the Update button now driven by the pack registry; new Canned Responses report under Service Desk by response and by agent, filtered by client and by the agent who used it, admins seeing every agent's own; changelog updated

category

Categories stage 2: every form and Bulk Action window picks a category the same way through categoryPicker and categoryOptionsHtml, in the kind's order with each category's color, icon and description, keeping a record's archived category marked (archived) and a status, type or referral that isn't a category marked (not set up) so saving changes neither; the + beside a category picker is admins only and opens the category window stacked over the form, saving in the background as JSON, picking the new category and leaving the form as it was, with a taken name shown in the window, on every form that picks one including a ticket's quote and invoice, Unbilled Time, payment providers, canned responses, the mileage setting and the Bulk Action windows; stacked windows shade the one underneath; agent/post/category.php removed so the window posts to admin/post.php from any page; typed referrals go through categoryEnsure, taking an existing referral's spelling in any case, matching archived ones and no longer making an empty referral on client add, edit and import; fixes the + reloading the page and losing the form, the quote made from a ticket creating an expense category, and a stray < in the license template type picker; changelog updated
