The HelpMaster Pro Desktop

The Desktop Edition of HelpMaster Pro is the core application that is used to configure many aspects of the entire HelpMaster Pro application suite. It is also the application that is most frequently used to log, view and work with helpdesk jobs. Once it is installed a workstation, helpdesk staff are able to log-in and start managing their workload. Some core features of the HelpMaster Pro Desktop Edition include:

Helpdesk Explorer screen

This is the main screen within HelpMaster Pro. It is used to display all of the jobs that have been assigned to each staff member and skillgroup within the helpdesk. From this screen staff can view, edit and action jobs that are assigned to them.

The job screen

The job screen contains all of the details for a logged job. From this screen, staff can view, modify or action a job. The "Links" tab of a job allows other entities such as clients, sites, assets, actions to do, reminders and even other jobs to be linked to the job for a total workflow solution.
