Future Development

Mapping

  • Support for all SharePoint field types (currently only Text and Choice). This is a big project that will take time. We will probably have to take some field types one or two at a time.

  • The E-mail Converter installer will create a mapped list in the selected SharePoint site, for the administrator to use as it is or customize.

  • Possibility to create new Outlook fields and get them transferred to any SharePoint field.

E-MAILS

  • Automatic e-mails. Workflows for automatic e-mails can be created in SharePoint, and we even have a manual for it, but creating a workflow is rather complicated and we would prefer to add the possibility to send automatic e-mails into E-mail Converter.

  • Possibility to manually create tickets from several e-mails at the same time by using the Ctrl button with the Create ticket button.

  • Possibility to have e-mails marked as read after ticket creation.

  • Possibility to manually add an e-mail to an existing ticket instead of creating a new ticket from it. This feature is for the cases where the automatic e-mail threading does not work, for example if the e-mail subject does not have a ticket ID.

TICKETS

  • Possibility to have E-mail Converter automatically open manually created tickets

  • Make it possible to include CC in the e-mail thread.

  • Add a feature that enables E-mail Converter to set any custom value in SharePoint on a new item when it is created.

  • Make it possible to delete the ticket associated with a selected e-mail directly from Outlook, without having to go to the SharePoint list.

  • View selection for the Statistics and the Merge ticket feature: we will give the option to select view from the available SharePoint views and then populate only the tickets shown in this view in the Statistics/ Merge tickets list.

  • E-mail threading will be a per list setting. Now the check box applies to all lists.

OTHER

  • Possibility to use E-mail Converter with smart phones We plan to build simple web-interface for both our issue-tracking solutions wherein the user can view and update his/her own tickets. In addition to that we hope to give users the ability to record audio updates as well as upload images directly from their mobile phones.
