18.3.2 Customer Portal Interface
INTERFACE VERSION 1
Once they have entered their login details, your customer can first enter a new request for assistance and then access the entities that you have related to his contact card (only enabled modules) from the menu items on the left. Support requests by default provide for an email to be sent to the contact's email address, with the summary and ID of the ticket. Any subsequent comments will always be notified by email. Once you have dealt with the contact request, you can close the ticket (if satisfied with the result).
