    2. Customize Ticket URL

      This option allows you to customize the ticket URL. When the "Customize Ticket URL" switch is turned on, your customized ticket URL will take effect. This link is shared across all Next Ticket apps and Attendance Manager apps.
      You can customize the ticket URL using the following format, replacing the actual ticket number with the {{TicketNumber}} token:
      • For example, if the original ticket URL is https://manage.mspbotssample.com/v4_6_release/ConnectWise.aspx?locale=en_US&routeTo=ServiceFV&recid=5027470, and you want to customize the ticket URL to https://mtx.link/5027470, you need to enter https://mtx.link/{{TicketNumber}} in the "Customize Ticket URL" option. So, when you click on the ticket number, the link will point to https://mtx.link/5027470.

        Tip

        The "Customize Ticket URL" feature is universal in the Attendance Manage and all NextTicket apps:

        • If you toggle on the "Customize Ticket URL" switch in any one of the attendance management or all the NextTicket apps, the switch for this feature in the remaining apps will also be turned on. If you turn off the switch in any of these apps, the switch for this feature in the remaining apps will also be turned off.
        • When you configured the "Customize Ticket URL" in any of these apps, it will be applied to all the remaining apps.
        • If the "Customize Ticket URL" switch is turned off, the ticket links will remain as the originally generated links.
