Besides important improvements, NetEye 3.10 comes up with new features in the areas of Network Analysis, Business Service Management and SAP Monitoring. Although, having added some new functionalities, in this release we particularly focused on increasing stability and improving existing modules.
In past, information regarding new versions have been published as PDF here on our blog. From now on, we will maintain a NetEye Release Notes archive on our company webpage. (For the next release, such an archive will be created also for EriZone. However, release announcements will always be made on our blog.)
New Agent Ticket Creation Form: the ticket creation form has been improved in order to support the agent in a faster and more productive ticket creation
HTML printing support preview: The PDF printing functionality has been improved with the last version of EriZone 5. It is now possible to print all images and html included in the ticket to a PDF file. In this way, the generated / printed PDF becomes a true copy of the original ticket that can be used in different offline scenarios. For instance, sometimes it’s useful to have a hard (printed) copy of the ticket, for example to hand in a report to meeting participants.
Service translation support on agent and customer interface: it is now possible to translate the service catalogue based on user localization settings
OTRS calendar add-on integration: the newest OTRS 5s calendar add-on has been integrated.
Service catalogue by customerIDs: it is now possible to associate services from service catalogues to customerIDs (previously it was possible to associate services only to customerID).
Minor Enhancements
Translation: complete availability of English, Italian and German translations
Email notification layout: new email notification layout
Under the Hood
Upgrade to OTRS 5.0.18
Major bug fixes on EriZone themes
New module AgentTicketPhoneSplit: during split functions, it is now possible to customize the form of the split with ACL and dedicated JQuery to provide a more tailored escalation form.
New ActivityDialogLink: It is now possible to ‘call’ an existing EriZone module (i.e. AgentTicketPriority) through process management buttons
Preparations before upgrading from EriZone 5.0 to EriZone 5.1.*

After my graduation in Applied Computer Science at the Free University of Bolzano I decided to start my professional career outside the province. With a bit of good timing and good luck I went into the booming IT-Dept. of Geox in the shoe district of Montebelluna, where I realized how a big IT infrastructure has to grow and adapt to quickly changing requirements. During this experience I had also the nice possibility to travel the world, while setting up the various production and retail areas of this company. Arrived at Würth Phoenix I started developing on our monitoring solution NetEye. Today, in my position as Consulting an Project Manager I am continuously heading to implement our solutions to meet the expectation of your enterprise customers.
