Add A Ticket

There are several ways a new Ticket can be added throughout the system. Each one will be detailed below, however, they all collect the same information regardless of how the overlay looks. On V3 screens, adding a new Ticket will open this overlay:

Here you can see the following fields that need to be filled out:

• Type – select from Note, Call, or Event. Typically, Call is for when a customer is spoken to over the phone or leaves a voicemail, and a Note is used for any other type of communication. Selecting Event will add more fields to the overlay. For complete instructions, see this article.
• Account/Vendor – This field is optional specifically for when you need to make a Ticket that does not relate to a specific Vendor or Account. If you need to create a Ticket for a new Account, open the dropdown list and click the blue Add Account link. This will open the Add Account overlay and you'll be returned to the Add Ticket overlay upon clicking Save. 
• Category – This is a way of categorizing Tickets for your company’s most common uses. By default, "uncategorized" will be selected. You can customize the default options by going to Settings > Ticket Categories.
• Subject – A brief summary of why this Ticket exists.
• Body – Space for additional details about the Ticket.
• Status – This indicates what further action is required on this ticket. Further explanation about Statuses can be found by clicking here.
• Assignment - This is the SA user the Ticket will be assigned under. It defaults to the user currently signed in when creating the Ticket.
• Due Date - If the Ticket requires action by a certain date, you add a due date to the Ticket.
