Understanding ticket statuses

Audience: Staff, Technicians

Responsible Group: TeamDynamix Admins

Overview

A ticket status is an attribute that is searchable and reportable. Any user with the Technician security role will have the ability to change the status on a ticket. There are five different classes of statuses: New, In Process, On Hold, Cancelled, and Completed. The University of Arkansas has expanded on these default classes to create statuses that help technicians quickly identify where in the process a ticket is at. 

Because a ticket status cannot be deleted once created, additional statuses are not created upon request.
