View and customize the ticket queue

This section describes how to display a list of tickets and how to customize your view of the ticket queue. Use this material as it is, or copy and revise it to reflect your organization's practices and Web Help Desk configuration.

Display a list of tickets

Use Web Help Desk to quickly access lists of tickets that are assigned to you or to your tech group.

1. In the toolbar, click Tickets.
2. In the menu bar, select one of the following to display a list of tickets:
   • My Tickets displays tickets assigned to you.
   • Group Tickets displays tickets assigned to any tech in a tech group you belong to.
   • Flagged Tickets displays tickets that you flagged.
   • Recent Tickets displays tickets that you have edited recently.

About the ticket queue

The ticket queue provides information about each ticket in the list.

In the first column, you can select tickets for bulk actions, such as merging tickets.

The second column provides color-coded ticket information:

• Blue: New ticket with no tech response
• Purple: Ticket reassigned to a new tech
• Yellow: Ticket with a new client update
• None: Ticket that does not meet any of the categories above

Click the flag column to flag a ticket or to remove an existing flag. Flagging a ticket adds it to your Flagged Tickets queue, which you can access by clicking Flagged Tickets in the toolbar.Use flags to mark tickets that require immediate follow-up or special attention.

If a ticket is unassigned, the last column displays the Assign to Me icon . You can click the icon to assign the ticket to yourself.

Sort the ticket queue

Click a column heading to sort the list of tickets by the values in that column. Click the column heading again to reverse the sort order.

Sort the tickets by the Alert Level to ensure you see tickets that require immediate action. Sort by Date to see the oldest tickets first.
