[SOLVED]OTRS4 How to add Customer Company Support

[jimmers1972]

Hi

New OTRS user here. Currently running a demo for my boss, looking good so far

I am struggling to enable Customer Company Support however. I get that I need to add

Code: Select all

CustomerCompanySupport => 1,

to Config.pm, but when I do that OTRS wont start as I expected, so I add the whole section

Code: Select all

    # --------------------------------------------------- #
    #                                                     #
    #             Start of config options!!!              #
    #                 CustomerUser stuff                  #
    #                                                     #

        },
    };

But OTRS still will not start. Can someone explain to me how I enable Customer Company Support?

Kind regards

[crythias]

you're close ... just uncomment the CustomerCompanySupport in the CustomerUser section.

I was close indeed

Also putting the code snippet in the correct place helped.

Thanks
