Maybe it's obvious, but I can't find how to put the agents personal phone numbers in the signature.

We have in our list of "To Dos" a KB on how to add custom fields to agent signatures, so instructions on how to do this are coming. However, here's a quick "How To"
  1. First , you'll want to create a Custom Field for Agents for the Personal Phone number.
  2. Once that's done, a variable is created for that Custom Field that can then be inserted into Signatures.
    1. If you've already created a signature for agents, you'll simply need to edit the one you've already created. If no signature is availble, we have a KB on how to Create a Default Signature that you can use.
  3. Once you save your signature with the variable added, the info from the Custom Field will appear in any new tickets that are created by your agents. The filed will not appear in previous tickets, only new replies.
I hope that helps.

Navigate to the settings section in the Management Interface and select Field Definitions under Custom Fields. Create a New Field, perhaps called PhoneNumber, and check 'Applies to only end-users and employees.' Then under Tickets select Signatures and edit the template you're wanting to add signatures to. Set your cursor where you want the phone number to appear and drop down the list of variables in the editor. You should see your newly created variable among the list, select it. Now the only thing left to do is go to the Employees section under Organization and edit the employees you want to add phone numbers to. You'll notice the Custom Fields tab now has the field you created in the first step for phone numbers. Once filled out it will insert that value into the location you inserted the variable into the template.

Mike gives a bit more detail, below..and this is what will form the majority of the KB we're crafting. Thanks, Mike!
