Huge Quality of Life Update!
Login Page
- New Look: We have a new look! Quickly click “System Status” to view new features.
- System Status: To quickly review any issues or updates with Rocket, you can click on “System Status” on the login page or visit k12techrepairs.com/system-status
Repairs → Manage Tickets
- Optimization: The search box is automatically selected when clicking “Create Ticket” to reduce the amount of clicks.
Repairs → Manage Parts
- Parts QTY: You can now adjust quantities for parts for each specific Building, as well as mass edit quantities for all of your parts at the same time
Devices/Users → Manage Users
- User Email: Added “User Email Address” field (optional)
Devices/Users → Manage Devices
- Delete Decommission Devices: To decommission, select the checkbox of devices and change their status to Decommissioned.
- You can also do this through a custom import by making a file of all devices you want to decommission, and then a second column with any value to denote disabling the device. Then, in the custom import, select “Device Status” for the second column and copy the value you used into the Decommission box.
Support Tickets → Technology/Maintenance
- Change to Assigned Ticket Highlight: Highlight changed from Yellow to Blue for better visibility.
Configurations → Buildings
- Delete: Added the ability to delete “Buildings”
- Addresses: You now have the option to add an address to each building. This feature can be used to track returning devices to a specific building instead of being locked to the main address within Rocket. The Main Address will be used if no address is set for the buildings.
Configurations → Staff Members
- Profile Picture: Staff members can now upload their profile pictures by clicking on the image in the top-right corner. This was previously restricted to a randomly generated avatar.
Settings
- Rocket Account Name vs FedEx Shipment Company Name: The Rocket account name is now separate from Fedex Company Name (which has a character limit). The settings look a bit different because of this, but this has helped create more separation between regular settings and shipping info.
- FedEx Phone Number: The phone number field for shipping now has data validation to only allow for numbers.

Helpdesk Update Follow Up
Support Tickets
- Assigned Tickets: Tickets assigned to the person who is currently logged in will be highlighted yellow
- Quick Add Help Desk Tickets: Staff members can now create their own tickets using a “Quick Add” button to quickly create tickets that they need to work on, but that staff member can also choose who to assign that ticket to, bypassing the automatic assignments for that particular category type
- Edit Access for Unassigned Tickets: Staff members who aren’t admins cannot edit tickets they aren’t assigned to, though they can still change the ticket assignment if necessary. This way they don’t accidentally edit or close out others’ tickets, but can work on them if they need to.
- “Assigned To” Filter: Added a new filter for “Assigned To” to filter out tickets to only an individual or user group to help see specific tickets. This helps if a certain staff member is out and someone else is filling in for them.

- Open Tickets Report: New report for all open helpdesk tickets, organized by date created and grouped by building
- Editable Ticket to Building Assignments: Ticket assignments are now editable and able to be deleted

- Accurate, Configurable Time Zone: Timestamps should now be accurate to the local time zone, and can be changed in Settings.
- New Help Desk Import: There is now a helpdesk import for Categories, Subcategories, and Issue Types. This is for creating new selections quickly for schools that are getting started with helpdesk, though the helpdesk types they want will have to be in the system first (to prevent mass creation of custom helpdesk types)

- Create Plan → Grade Selection: Added a small “X” to each grade to remove them easier
- Custom Grades: Schools can now add custom grades using the “Other” option, which will put up a text box to enter the grade name.
