Add details to tickets with tech notes
You can add additional information to tickets using tech notes. A ticket can have multiple notes and can be added by any technician. Tech notes can contain basic HTML tag or Bulletin Board Code (BBCode) tag formatting.
Techs can also add billing rates to tech notes. To enable, click Setup > Parts & Billing > Options and select the Parts & Billing Enabled check box. When enabled, Web Help Desk will track parts, inventory, and billing on tickets.

Send email to ticket recipients
When you save a ticket, you can email the ticket to a client, assigned technician, level techs, group manager, or other addresses in the ticket Recipients tab using the Cc and Bcc fields. Select the recipient check boxes or add CC or BCC email addresses, and then click Save & Email.
Clicking Save does not generate an email unless the ticket is re-assigned. In this case, the newly-assigned tech receives an email. Click the lock to toggle the ticket privacy setting. When tickets are private, users without permission cannot see the tickets.
Manage ticket tasks
A task is a series of one or more separate steps called Elements, and can be scheduled to repeat at daily, weekly, or monthly intervals. Tasks run automatically on their scheduled date or they can be triggered manually using the green Play triangle next to the task name.
To create a new task, see Create tasks.
