Bulk edit tickets in a queue

By default, Service Desk has a single ticket queue, and in many cases, a single queue is all an organization requires to function effectively. However, you can add, duplicate, and delete queues as needed. You can also create one or more ticket templates in a queue. If multiple templates exist in a queue, you must select one ticket template as the default template.

About Service Desk ticket queues

About Service Desk ticket queues

Service Desk tickets are stored in one or more queues on the appliance. Most organizations need only a single queue, but you can create and manage additional queues as needed.

Having multiple ticket queues is useful when:

•
You have different sets of tickets with different requirements. For example, if you use tickets for typical Service Desk tasks such as fixing device-related problems, and you also use tickets to keep track of problems with a fleet of automobiles, you can set up separate queues for each type of problem.
•
Service Desk staff are assigned to a specific set of tickets. For example, if your organization has offices in different cities, and each city has a Service Desk staff dedicated to that location, you can manage tickets in separate queues. However, if your Service Desk staff handles multiple offices from a single location, a single queue is sufficient.

For information about configuring ticket queues, see Configuring Service Desk ticket queues.
