Ticket ZoomΒΆ

The feature makes it possible for the agents to select multiple articles from one ticket and forward them at the same time instead of forwarding only a single article. A checkbox is displayed next to each article in the Article Overview widget and a Forward (Bulk) menu item is displayed in the header of the widget. Clicking on this menu item opens the Forward window and attaches all selected articles as attachments.
