Pop-up Video
The first time your user logs in, you can embed a video for your clients. Most of our clients use this as an onboarding video for DeskDirector. However, you can use it to introduce your MSP or talk about the services you provide to the end users.

Self-help center
The Learning Center in DeskDirector is a fantastic way to educate and train your end users. You can put in your onboarding documents, important knowledge-base articles or even embed your contract and service list. A lot of our clients also share their marketing material in the portal for up-selling.
The setting up for the learning center is done through the Admin console and accessed and viewed through the portal.

After you have added a link, go back to the Admin Console
Admin Console --> Contact Tab --> Impersonate Bob Ford clicking on this icon
Knowledge base article in the Custom Form
Avoid tickets which can easily be solved by your customers themselves. Include KB articles in the form before they can submit ticket, this ensures that your end users have done the 'basic' work. This also will lead to fewer tickets.
This can potentially lead to no tickets like 'how do I reset my password' or 'how to set up sharepoint'
