Questions
- Do we need to make the distinction between an individual contact and a company/account which has many contacts in it.
- Would be simpler not to. Otherwise, we need to figure something out with group trackers.
basic
Contacts and membership management
- Database of contacts, managed by admins
- Some of those contacts have logins and can update their profile as per User_Trackers
- Anonymous can create an account and update profile
- Registered users can become members (and pay) (there is more than 1 membership type) as per: http://doc.tiki.org/Payment#Membership_Management
- Members have access to privileged content (A members-only category)
Interaction management (ticket system)
- Make trackers for contacts with customers (ticket system)
- with admin field (visible to user) with time spent
- When ticket is closed, this is passed to the Credit system
- Registered users can use the ticket system (report issues, etc.)
- Admins can also use the ticket system to log interactions with contacts (whether or not they are members)
Nice to have
- Admins can indicate: Time spent (minutes to be deducted from Credits, when ticket is closed)
- Admins can filter contacts by a criteria and contact them
- User groups can have access to a common contact database with different access levels. For example the contact database "sales" is readable by the members of "sales", "sales_senior" can add contacts and edit those contacts they own and "sales_admin" can reassign contacts to others and edit them all. Another user group "tech" will have their own contact database and so on.
- Each contact can have n different contact types with different values, for example 3 entries "telephone". new contact types can be defined
- for some contact types links can be generated (for example if I enter data into a homepage field, this is a link to the website, for a telephone number this is a link to a helper script on my pbx server to trigger a call and for an email it is a mailto link of course.
- Notes can be attached to a contact which are visible to all or to the author only
- Documents can be attached to a contact
- contacts can be grouped in relations: Bill is the superior of Joe, Lisa is the wife of Joe etc.
Long term
- Show off credit system
- Shopping cart is available to replenish credits (this part needs to be coded)
- Use payment to run a Data Channel (to show off the new feature)

- It should look like a ticket from the client's perspective, with some hidden fields for the admins
