Core Features

Browser-based interface. All you need to use LiveHelp is a standard web browser. As LiveHelp is built from the ground up as a browser based application, administrators are not required to install any special software on their workstations. Configured appropriately, LiveHelp's console can be securely accessed from anywhere in the world via the internet. The AJAX based interface brings you a desktop client usage feel.

Portal Customization page enables color and logo selection using a simple configuration screen and/or enables replacement of the stock CSS style sheet with a custom one which allows significantly more control.

Software administrators are now able to choose any of available templates on the Joomla market, free or commercial and then download them to /templates directory. The installed template shall be then available to choose within Configuration panel and Appearance menu.

Language localization. Individual users can later override the default language and select a language of their choice. Designed for a world-wide audience, LiveHelp allows each user to select their time zone and preferred language. These language are created through the language configuration files. One customer can be logged in with Spanish, another customer can be logged in with German, and a tech could be logged in using English. SupportPortal currently have these languages: French, German, Spanish, Dutch, Turkish, Portuguese, Polish, Bosnian, Norwegian, and Swedish. But, you can add as many language as you want to.

Permissions based access. Access to LiveHelp is controlled by global permissions. These determine system wide privileges, such as who can administer or log into your application. Every customer organization can have its own permission levels, so you can protect information within your portal.

You can also allow visitors to access part or all of the site without having them sign in.
