Create Tickets
==============

When a customer messages you over a channel which is fetched by Zammad, a ticket
is created automatically (except Zammad recognizes it as a follow-up, then it
gets added as an article to an existing ticket). However, there might be cases
where you need to create a ticket manually. Examples:

- A customer calls you by phone.
- You receive a paper letter from a customer.
- A customer comes to a physical service desk.
- You proactively have to inform a customer by sending out a message.

In situations like these, you need to create a new ticket manually and click the
``+`` button at the bottom of the navigation bar. This shows a ticket create
screen where you can add all needed information.

.. figure:: /images/basics/work-with-tickets/create.png
:alt: Screenshot shows the new ticket dialog.
:align: center

Type
----

In the ticket create dialog, you can choose from different article types:

- Received Call: for issues initiated by a customer over the phone.
- Outbound Call: for issues initiated by an agent over the phone.
- Send Email: for issues initiated by an agent over email.

When choosing **Send Email**, the customer receives an email with the title as
subject and the text as email content.

Title
-----

This is the title of a ticket which is shown in many places in Zammad.
For example this gets displayed in overviews. It is also used as the subject
for email communication. For emails, a ticket identifier is automatically
appended (e.g. ``Ticket#901234 - I need help!``).

Customer
--------

Enter a name or email address of a customer to search for existing accounts.
You can even search for organizations and their members. Select an option from
the autocomplete menu or create a new customer by clicking the
**+ Create new Customer** button. This opens a dialog where you can provide
all relevant information of the customer. A ticket can only have one customer.

Ticket creation with customer suggestion based on search.

After setting a customer in the ticket create dialog, the customer sidebar
automatically opens. You can see additional customer information including a
hint about the currently opened tickets of the customer.

.. figure:: /images/basics/work-with-tickets/create-ticket-customer-sidebar.png
:alt: Screenshot shows "Customer" sidebar after setting a customer.
:align: center

Text
----

This is the content section where the currently known details of the issue
gets written down. For the "Send Email" type, this is the content/message of
the email.

.. include:: /snippets/editor-features.rst

Ticket Attributes
-----------------

As you may know, there are additional ticket attributes such as group, priority
and owner that you can set. If you haven't read :doc:`ticket-basics` yet, check
it out to learn more.

-----

After you provided the relevant information, finally create the ticket with a
click on the **Create** button. Read on
:doc:`how to find tickets <find-tickets>` and
:doc:`how to work with them <work-with-tickets>`.

Find Tickets
============

There are different ways to find tickets, depending on your use case.

.. _overviews:

Via Overviews
-------------

If you search for new tickets to work on, your first look should be in the
overview section. This section gives you a rough overview. More details are
covered in a separate overview page.

You can either open it by clicking the **Overviews** button
in the navigation bar or use the keyboard shortcut :kbd:`o`. You can think of
overviews as some kind of ticket lists.
By default, there are some built in overviews. For example, there is
an overview called "Unassigned & Open Tickets" which might be a good starting
point.

- My Assigned Tickets: open tickets in which you are set as owner.
- Unassigned & Open Tickets: open tickets which don't have an owner set.
- My Pending Reached Tickets: tickets in which you are the owner, have
the *pending reminder* state and the pending reminder time is reached.
- Open Tickets: open tickets.
- Pending Reached Tickets: tickets which have the *pending reminder* state and
the pending reminder time is reached.
- Escalated Tickets: tickets which are escalated or will escalate in the next
10 minutes.

Your Zammad admin may have created additional overviews. These are based on
conditions, which are basically rules, to define which ticket appears in which
overview.

.. figure:: /images/basics/find-ticket/browse.jpg
:alt: Sample view of Overviews
:align: center

Click **Overviews** in the main menu to browse tickets.

You can adjust the overviews in some aspects:

- Click on a column heading to change the sorting.
- Click and drag column dividers to adjust the column's width.
- Adjust the order of the overviews in your
:doc:`user profile </extras/profile-and-settings>`.

The need for action is color coded and reflects mainly the
ticket states:

.. include:: /snippets/ticket-state-type-circles.rst

If you spot a circle with a blue/pink gradient, it indicates that an
:doc:`AI agent </extras/ai-features>` is currently working on the ticket.

Ticket priorities are
color-coded as well and help you to distinguish between the different
priorities:

.. figure:: /images/basics/work-with-tickets/settings/priority-colors.png
:alt: Overview showing 3 tickets with different priorities
:width: 60%
:align: center

.. _search-tickets:

Via Search
----------

If you are looking for a specific ticket, you can use the search. Either click
on the search bar at the top of the left navigation sidebar or use the keyboard
shortcut :kbd:`s`.

.. figure:: /images/basics/find-ticket/search.png
:alt: Screenshot shows the Zammad search with search results in the navigation sidebar.
:width: 60%
:align: center

But the search is not only about tickets. Zammad also searches for users,
organizations and chat logs. It basically searches for all information which is
stored in Zammad and which got indexed by Elasticsearch, like:

- Message subject and text
- Names and email addresses
- Text in file attachments
- User and organizations details (like notes, names, etc.)
- Knowledge base articles

After entering a search term, you immediately see a preview of the search
results. These results are separated by type to make sure you won't get lost in
the results. Selecting one of those results will open a new navigation tab
(if not already opened) with the item.

If you press :kbd:`enter` or click on **Show Search Details**, Zammad displays
a page with the search results:

.. figure:: /images/basics/find-ticket/search-details.png
:align: center
:alt: Screenshot shows the search details page with activated "Ticket" tab.

You can narrow down your search by selecting a
specific object type (e.g. "User") in the tab bar below the search bar. To sort
the results based on the column's values, click on a column header. The sorting
is indicated by an arrow.
Click on the column again to change the sorting from ascending to descending
and back. If you still can't find what you are looking for, have a look at the
:doc:`advanced search page </advanced/search>` where you can learn how to search
for specific attributes like creation date or the ticket owner's email address.

-----

Now that you know how to find tickets, you may want to
:doc:`create new <create-tickets>` or
:doc:`work with existing <work-with-tickets>` tickets.
