| 8 | +Tickets let your members interact with your server staff in a private and more organized way. The bot will create a |
| 9 | +dedicated channel that can only be seen by the staff and the member who created the ticket, with the option to add more |
| 10 | +users as-needed. |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +{{< callout context="note" title="Note" icon="outline/info-circle" >}} |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +Make sure that the bot has permission to manage channels in the category you want the bot to create tickets in, as well |
| 15 | +as permission to send messages in said category, the transcript channels, and the ticket log channel. |
| 16 | + |

| 21 | +## Commands |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +See the [Commands](/docs/core/all-commands/#tickets-) page for a listing of all commands. By default, we impose no |
| 24 | +restrictions on who can run these commands, though it may be pertinent to restrict sensitive commands such as the |
| 25 | +`-tickets close` command to staff members using [Command overrides](/docs/core/command-settings). |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +## Configuration |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +At the top of the tickets settings page, you will find a toggle to enable or disable the ticket system in its entirety. |
| 30 | +If you wish to disable certain parts, such as the `tickets adduser` command, please use a command override instead. |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +If you disable the ticket system, the bot will respond with an error message when you try to run ticket-related |
| 33 | +commands, unless they are also disabled using command overrides. |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +### Admin Roles |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +Individual tickets can be set to an admin-only mode, where only users with these specified roles will be able to view |
| 38 | +that ticket channel. |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +Toggling this mode is done by running `-tickets adminonly` in the ticket's channel. Running the command again will |
| 41 | +deactivate the admin-only mode. This may serve useful when handling issues that require a higher level of privacy, |
| 42 | +such as complaints about staff members. |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +Select as many roles as you like---they need not have "Administrator" or similar Discord permissions commonly associated |
| 45 | +with the term "admin". |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +### Mod Roles |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +These roles will be excluded from viewing tickets that are set to admin-only mode. Select as many as you like---they |
| 50 | +need not have "Manage Messages", "Moderate Members" or other Discord permissions commonly associated with the term |
| 51 | +"moderator". |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +Having selected separate roles for moderators and administrators can be useful in larger servers where the two roles |
| 54 | +have different responsibilities, but nothing prevents you from selecting the same role for both. |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +### Ticket Category |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +The bot uses channels for tickets, and these channels are created in a category of your choosing. This category should |
| 59 | +be set up with the necessary permissions for the bot to create channels in it. |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +{{< callout context="note" title="Note" icon="outline/info-circle" >}} |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +Discord limits categories to contain at most 50 channels. If you experience a high volume of tickets, consider closing |
| 64 | +some or researching alternative bots that handle tickets differently. |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +{{< /callout >}} |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +### Ticket Transcripts Channel |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +This is the channel where text transcripts of tickets will be sent to, given that you activated the option to do so. |
| 71 | +This channel does not have to be part of the ticket category you selected further up. |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | +We also provide a separate option to download attachments sent in the ticket, which will be posted as a ZIP archive in |
| 74 | +this channel. |
| 75 | + |
| 76 | +To keep admin-only tickets private, you can select a separate transcripts channel for tickets that were closed when they |
| 77 | +are in the admin-only mode during closure---if this is not necessary for your server, select the same channel as for the |
| 78 | +regular tickets. |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | +### Ticket Status Updates |
| 81 | + |
| 82 | +When a ticket is created or closed, the bot will send a message to this channel to inform your staff about this event. |
| 83 | +Selecting "None" will cause the bot to not send these updates. |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | +### Opening Message |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | +This field supports [custom command templating](/docs/reference/templates/syntax-and-data) and will be executed in the |
| 88 | +newly created channel whenever a new ticket is created. Feel free to customize this as you see fit. |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +The default message is the following custom command code: |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | +```yag |
| 93 | +{{$embed := cembed `description` (joinStr `` `Welcome ` .User.Mention ` |
| 94 | +
|
| 95 | +Please describe the reasoning for opening this ticket, include any information you think may be relevant such as proof, other third parties and so on.` |
| 96 | +"\n\nuse the following command to close the ticket\n" |
| 97 | +"`-ticket close reason for closing here`\n\n" |
| 98 | +"use the following command to add users to the ticket\n" |
| 99 | +"`-ticket adduser @user`")}} |
| 100 | +{{sendMessage nil $embed}} |
| 101 | +``` |
| 102 | + |
| 103 | +The user-provided reason for opening this ticket is available under the `{{ .Reason }}` template data. |
