Queue

A high-level, crystal clear overview of all Service Records; sheer visibility into what’s happening inside the Service Desk and who’s attending to each Service Record — at any given moment.

Admins create new tickets in an instant, free of concern that other admins may be editing the same ticket at the same time (Locked Tickets).

Create Queue Views so that you have a saved, customized View of the exact criteria you want to see, at your convenience, without reconfiguration each time.

Edit any Field inline (Inline Edits) or apply a unified actions to multiple Service Records (Bulk Actions) – all without the need to open individual Service Records, or click “Save” after each action you perform (Autosave).

Requirements

Admins can view and manage Service Records in the Queue according to their permissions
