Ticket Management

Create, assign, update, and resolve support tickets. Understand how statuses, priorities, and ticket types work together to keep your queue organized.

The ticket list

The Tickets page is your main queue. It shows all open tickets in your organization, with filters for status, priority, type, assignee, and more. You can sort by any column and use the search bar to find specific tickets.

Ticket types

Every ticket has a type that describes the kind of work it represents:

Incident Something is broken or not working as expected. A customer can't access their account, a service is down, a bug is causing problems.
Service Request A standard request for something — a new feature, a setting change, a question, a refund. Not an emergency.

Ticket statuses

Status tracks where a ticket is in its lifecycle. A ticket moves through these statuses as your team works on it:

New Just created, not yet picked up by anyone.
In Progress An agent is actively working on it.
On Hold Waiting on something — a response from the customer, a third party, or an internal dependency.
Resolved The issue has been fixed or the request has been fulfilled. The customer has been informed.
Closed Fully done. No further action needed.

Ticket priorities

Priority reflects how urgently a ticket needs to be addressed:

  • Critical — Service is completely down or a major customer is severely impacted. Needs immediate attention.
  • High — Significant impact, needs to be addressed soon.
  • Medium — Standard priority. Normal workflow.
  • Low — Minor issue or informational. Can be addressed when there is capacity.

Creating a ticket

Click New Ticket from the Tickets page or use the button in the sidebar. Fill in the title, type, priority, and a description. You can optionally assign it to an agent, link it to a contact, and add a category.

Tickets can also be created automatically If you have email-to-ticket enabled, inbound emails become tickets without any manual work. If you have the client portal enabled, customer submissions become tickets automatically too.

The ticket detail view

Click any ticket to open the detail view. This is where your team does most of their work — updating status, adding comments, reassigning, and tracking the full history of the ticket.

The detail view includes:

  • Ticket fields on the right — status, priority, type, assignee, requester, category, and dates
  • Description — the original ticket content
  • Comments — threaded conversation between agents (and customers for portal/email tickets)
  • Activity log — a full audit trail of every change made to the ticket
  • Attachments — files uploaded to the ticket

Assigning tickets

Open a ticket and use the Assigned To field on the right side to assign it to any agent or admin in your organization. You can also assign to a team. The assigned agent will receive a notification (if they have notifications enabled in their profile).

Adding comments

Use the comment box at the bottom of the ticket detail to add updates, notes, or responses. Comments are visible to all agents in your organization. For tickets created via email or portal, there is a distinction between internal notes and customer-facing replies (details coming in a future update).

Closing and resolving tickets

When work is done, change the status to Resolved to indicate the issue is fixed. Move to Closed when everything is confirmed complete and no further action is needed. Tickets are never deleted — closed tickets are preserved in your history for reporting and reference.

Filtering your queue

Use the filters at the top of the Tickets page to narrow down your view. You can filter by status, priority, ticket type, assignee, and category. Combine filters to create focused views — for example, all Critical tickets assigned to you that are In Progress.

Frequently asked questions

Can I delete a ticket?

No. Tickets are never deleted in FyneDesk. This is by design — your ticket history is a valuable record of all customer interactions. Close a ticket to mark it as complete.

Can I reassign a ticket to someone else?

Yes. Open the ticket and change the Assigned To field. Any agent or admin can be assigned to any ticket.

What is the difference between Resolved and Closed?

Resolved means the work is done from your team's perspective. Closed means it's fully finalized — typically after confirming with the customer or after a waiting period. In practice, many teams skip directly to Closed when they are confident the issue is fully handled.

Can End Users see all tickets?

No. End Users can only see tickets they are the requester on. Agents and Admins can see all tickets in the organization.
