These improvements cover updates made during the month of March 2024.
New Features
Single Sign On (SSO)
We globally rolled out SSO with OpenID Connect to all accounts after a successful Early Access where we finalized Mobile App support. You can now use SSO as another authentication option to streamline access and take more control of your security. OpenID Connect is one of three SSO standards commonly used in the industry.

Verified Email Domains
We also released Verified Email Domains to all accounts after another successful Early Access where enrolled partners reported a positive change to email deliverability. This feature ensures that the messages come directly from the MSPs address rather than showing as sent from Syncro and will also reduce the likelihood of being flagged as spam or phishing attempts.

Ticket View Metrics
Gain insight into your ticket workload, performance, and priorities with a new metric panel located at the top of every Ticket View. Capture critical ticket counts at a glance, as well as average first response and resolution times. Set thresholds to draw attention to underperforming metrics in red. Better yet, take it up a notch with a full Ticket View Health Dashboard on the Team plan!

Pause Ticket Timers
You can now track and bill time more easily with the ability to pause ticket timers. This prevents you from having to stop and restart a ticket timer, which creates extra ticket entries. You can now simply pause the ticket timer and continue it later so that only ticket entry is created for a specific task. This will reduce the number of line items on your bills, making them easier for your customers to read and understand. Paused timers will appear in the list of running timers that haven't yet been closed out.

Detailed Ticket Time Entries
We added the ability to optionally enter the starting and ending times when entering ticket comments. Did you forget to add an update to a ticket from a prior day? No problem. You can create a new comment and backdate the timer entries to keep your time log accurate. In fact, you have the flexibility to set the ticket timer entry to any date—past, present, or future.
