Create customized statuses for tickets
Customize your MSP Manager account by creating unique statuses for your ticket work flow. Keep your tickets organized with custom statuses that reflect your exact business practices. Custom ticket statuses can be grouped into the standard, hard coded statuses (New, Assigned, In Progress, On Hold, Complete, Reviewed, Billed) and selected from within the ticket editor.
Create multiple Reviewed statuses for different departments to double check tickets before billing your customers, or multiple Assigned statuses depending what department or technician is best suited to handle the issue.
Default Ticket Statuses
Ticket Status | Definition |
---|---|
New | Ticket has been created but is not assigned to a technician |
Assigned |
Ticket has been created and assigned to a technician Removing an assigned user will not automatically set the ticket's status back to 'New' |
In Progress | The ticket is being worked on - this can be automatically triggered by starting a timer or manually adding a time entry |
On Hold | Ticket is paused and will not count against any SLAs in place |
Complete | Work is finished and ticket has been marked as completed |
Reviewed | Ticket is marked complete and being reviewed before it is sent to billing |
Billed | The ticket is attached to an invoice that has been run through the billing process |
