Understanding Labels in the Help Desk

1. Choice of Ticket-Level Labels:

  • Labels are intentionally designed to be at the ticket level to emphasize the uniqueness and individuality of each customer interaction.

  • This choice underscores the importance of addressing each customer's needs with personalised attention and care.

2. Retention and Visibility of Labels:

  • Labels attached to tickets are lost once a ticket is closed.

  • Previous ticket labels can be viewed under reports and activities in the right panel, ensuring historical data preservation for analysis and reference.

3. Distinction Between Labels and Tags:

  • Labels are not added at the customer level.

  • For continuity in future conversations with a customer, customer tags should be used. Tags provide a consistent way to categorise and identify customers across interactions.

4. Archiving Labels:

  • Labels can be archived when not actively used.

  • Archived labels are visible in reports but cannot be applied to future conversations.

5. Limitations on Label Use Across Products:

  • Labels appended in the help desk cannot be used across other pods like broadcast, segment, and automations.
