Ticket Stages
Ticket stages refer to the various statuses through which a support ticket progresses from creation to resolution.
Available ticket stages:
Open:
The initial stage when a ticket is created and has not been assigned or addressed yet.
Closed:
The ticket has been resolved and closed, indicating that no further action is needed.
Snoozed:
The snoozed stage is used to temporarily set aside tickets that do not require immediate attention. Tickets in the snoozed stage can be automatically reactivated after a specified period or manually by an agent when they are ready to address the ticket.
Auto closed:
Auto-closing tickets is a feature that automatically marks tickets as closed after a specified period of inactivity or when assignment logic conditions are met.
Intermediate stages:
You can add any number of intermediate stages, such as "Assigned," "In progress," "Pending," and "Resolved."
The default ticket stages are "Open" and "Closed." Intermediate stages are used for analytics purposes and do not result in the closure or any actionable items on tickets.
