Description

The functionality to relate a ticket with all accounts/contacts will be useful for services companies. So that all account/contact can see the ticket.

Or

The functionality to relate the tickets with assets so that the ticket will be shown in all accounts/contacs which are all related with the asset.

Following are the customer comments on developers mailing list

Gregory Machin - greg@ct-net.org - I work in an it company and our main business is hosting and vpn support .. for example "I made changes to our mail server and would like to attach the ticket to all the accounts / contacts / users it will impact, so that if there is an issue and I'm not available someone else will be able to pickup the ticket and run with it. No matter who brings up the issue."

Andrew Rodes - arodes@onweald.com - I have worked with systems at hosting companies in the past ( I have worked for a few over the years), and the best way to attack the problem your trying to solve that I have seen was to have asset based ticketing so that if an asset has a modification or problem, its quickly seen on all customer accounts that also use that asset.

Unfortunately, vtiger does not support true assets to customer

relationships or asset based ticketing although several community members have asked about it for over 2 years (or maybe longer .. I don't know).

This functionality is in the major commercial ticketing products out there as I have used many including remedy and Siebel which handle it nicely.
