HostBill 4.1.0 Preview: Ticket Views

Just a couple of hours left before new HostBill version release – we’d like to take a time and show you an amazing new feature of upcoming update.

HostBill ticketing system is recognized as easy to use, despite being packed with dozens of useful features. With new version we’re adding new one to admin ticketing interface – Ticket Views. Now every admin will be able to define their own custom ticket listing, select auto-search & ticket filter criteria, columns and column order displayed in view.
Each admin can define their private views (displayed only for them), or public (displayed for all support staff members).

Use cases:

  • Using a mobile phone and want to catch up with your tickets on a train? Define mobile view to display only your tickets and ticket subjects/status (you don’t need anything else on a small smartphone screen) – one click away and you can see only what you need.
  • Using ticket tags & search terms to sort special groups of tickets – define view and have them one click away from you
  • Certain search term repeats? When entering new filter details you can store it as a view with one click

HostBill 4.0.0 Preview: Reports/Audit tools

Soon (on 2012-10-19) HostBill will reach its 4.0.0 milestone. It took us approx. 1 year and over 28 (!) public releases to get here (you can track last year’s progress at http://hostbillapp.com/changelog).

In this blog post we’d like to show you feature that is scheduled for 4.0 release: Reports.

HostBill had (and still has) built-in statistics as graphical representation, but we realize some data look better (and sometimes has to be) presented in numbers and on paper. 4.0 comes with over 20 useful and insightful reports, such as Sales tax liability, support ticket ratings reports, transactions per gateway etc.

Best part is – reports are customizable with drag & drop, and each result set can be limited with custom criteria, to get exactly what you need in fast and easy way!

HostBill 3.9.9 Release

BCrypt for Admin & Client passwords
HostBill now creates password using BCrypt. For non-geek readers: BCrypt is hashing algorithm based on Blowfish. How’s that different from older (considered as broken) hashing mechanisms? BCrypt keeps up with Moore Law which in short words means that even in the future with faster machines it will take roughly the same amount of time (in years) to crack single password.
Q: Would my/client’s old password work?
A: Sure, once you will login after upgrade HostBill will automatically rehash your password with the new method.
