If you are using the default settings, change the ticket status from New to Opened. If you have changed the default settings, make sure that at least one status has a state of Opened, and assign the ticket that status. See Configuring ticket settings.

Using Service Desk processes

Using Service Desk processes

Add, edit, and enable process templates
Define process types
Create process tickets to manage related tasks
Create process tickets by email
View process information
Cancel or complete process tickets
Delete process templates
Convert process tickets to regular tickets
Convert regular tickets to process tickets

A Service Desk process is a collection of tickets appearing in pre-defined order that allows you to track tasks requiring multiple steps or activities to complete.

For example, consider the tasks required to prepare systems and equipment for new-hires:

•
Identify office space and furniture requirements
•
Set up phone service
•
Obtain devices and software
•
Set up network credentials
•
Complete required employment paperwork

You could create a process template that includes all of these required tasks as child activities. Then, when you create tickets based on that process template, the child tickets are created automatically for all of the required tasks at each stage of the process.

To set up a Service Desk process template see, Add, edit, and enable process templates.
