Ticket properties
Ticket properties describe the information contained in each ticket.
The following list describes some common ticket properties. Because ticket properties are
configurable, your Smile installation may
contain other ticket properties that are not listed here.
- Subject
- Specifies the ticket subject. Smile may automatically complete this field if the ticket is automatically generated. For example, if Smile raises a ticket when your support address receives an email, the subject of the email may be copied to the ticket subject.
- Ticket status
- Specifies the ticket status, for example, New, In Progress or Closed. Your Smile administrators may configure additional ticket statuses for each ticket type.
- Account
- Specifies the account against which the ticket was raised.
- Subscription
- Specifies the subscription against which the ticket was raised.
- Ticket department
- Specifies the business department to which the ticket relates, for example, Support, Sales or system tickets.
- Ticket type
- Specifies the class of problem, for example, ADSL2+, Mobile Broadband, Account Enquiry or General Support. The ticket type also specifies the ticket behaviour, any ticket actions that occur when the ticket is raised, the fields that appear on the ticket and any custom ticket statuses available to the ticket type.
- Assignment group
- Specifies the group to which the ticket is assigned. For example, you can assign a ticket from the Support ticket department to the Customer Support or Technical Support assignment groups.
- Assign to
- Specifies the operator to whom the ticket is assigned.
- Ticket priority
- Specifies the importance of the ticket, for example, Urgent, Normal or Low.
Template tickets
Template tickets contain a default set of ticket properties. When you create a ticket from a template, Smile uses the template properties to create the new ticket.
