Update the status as the work progresses so the queue reflects reality. Assign each ticket to a technician, and let people work from the \"Assigned to me\" view, which gives each person their own queue.<\/p>\n<p>Each ticket has a conversation thread for administrators. Opening a ticket shows the device's system information alongside the thread, so you can triage without leaving the ticket. Document what you tried, ask questions, and leave handoff notes inside the ticket. Unread comments show on the main dashboard, so updates do not get missed.<\/p>\n<p>Filter the queue by company, computer, assignee, or status, and search titles and descriptions to find a specific ticket. Only the administrator who created a ticket can edit it; closed tickets cannot be edited or deleted, and deleting an open ticket is permanent. Because tickets are tied to the device rather than a session, they stay visible and editable even when an endpoint is offline, with the context ready when it reconnects.<\/p>\n<h2>End-user access to Tickets<\/h2>\n<p>End users submit and can track their own tickets, admins message them inside the ticket, and internal admin discussion stays private with a \"Send for admins only\" option.<\/p>\n<p>To set this up:<\/p>\n<p>1.
