Search for a Web Help Desk ticket
You can search for a Web Help Desk ticket using a basic or advanced search.
A basic search locates tickets based on the search criteria you enter in a set of predefined fields.
An advanced search locates tickets based on any number of search criteria you enter. The search criteria are a set of conditions that must be met. This search option may return results that do not populate in a basic search, even if you use the same query.
