Ticket Fields

You can manage your Ticket Fields from Suptask Web admin.

A Ticket Form consists of several Ticket Fields. Each field defines what kind of data it should accept from the user. This enables you to have your users enter certain information in specific fields.

The default Ticket Fields are always present for an Agent while just a set of them are visible for the user who submitted the ticket or have access to the submitted ticket in a Collaboration channel. Default fields can not be deleted.

Default fields:

Assignee (Responder) - Who is assigned and responsible for the ticket
Status (Responder) - Status of the ticket (Open, In progress, Closed)
Priority (Responder) - Internal Responder priority for the ticket (Critical to Low)
Description (Requester & Responder) - Contains the main description of the ticket
Organization (optional) - Which client / customer organization this ticket is related to.

Example of custom fields that you can create:

Single-line text - User can write any kind of information such as a customer name or a date
Multi-line text - User can write a lot of information on multiple lines such as a longer message or log data
Single-selection list - User can select a single option from a list. You define what options a user can pick from.
Multi-selection list - User can select multiple options from a list. You define what options a user can pick from.
