Ticket System
The Ticketing System feature in Business Portals allows users (web portal and mobile app) to communicate directly with Business Portals administrators. This facilitates efficient support and streamlined communication between users and administrators.
New Ticket
By design, new tickets can only be created by users (web portal and mobile app users). Each ticket includes all relevant information based on the configured ticket details, such as priority, status, type, title, message, and any attachments. Once created, the ticket is listed on the Business Portals - Tickets page or accessed through the Role Center in the Ticket Area under the cue labeled New.
Working with a Ticket
Accessing the tickets
There are multiple ways to access the tickets :
- All tickets are displayed on the Business Central - Tickets page. This page can be accessed and searched using the standard search functionality. All tickets, regardless of their status, are listed here without any filters.
- The Role Center includes cues for New, Open, Waiting, and Closed tickets. These cues allow you to open the Tickets page directly, with the list filtered according to the selected cue.
