Manage Tickets¶
Create Ticket from Email¶
When you signed up with iHelpdesk, you were asked to specify a site name, such as acme. Then your help desk web site is http://acme.ihelpdesk.com, and you were given an email address acme@ihelpdesk.com . You can tell your customers to send email to this email account, or forward your existing email accounts such as support@acme.com to acme@ihelpdesk.com. Emails received in this account will be automatically converted to tickets. For spams and non-ticket emails, you can use the “Report Spam” and “Not Ticket” buttons to move them.
If still want to use your existing accounts, you can configure POP3/IMAP settings to retrieve emails from other sources:

Reply Ticket¶
Select a ticket and then press “Reply” button to reply or add a comment:
If the “Send email as well” option is unchecked or there is no “To” or “Cc” fields, no email will be sent.
Ticket ID will be appended to reply email’s subject. For example, if the original subject of a ticket is “Re: Request for Quote”, it will be changed to
Re: Request for Quote [Ticket:1323142889058052]
Then when the end user replies the email, the ticket ID will be parsed and then the email will be included as a new comment to the ticket.
If the “Change status pending” option is checked, the status of this ticket will be changed to “Pending” after replying.
Time tracking feature can be used to track how much time an agent spends on this ticket:
Press the arrow button to start tracking time, or check the “Auto-start”, which will start time tracking automatically when reply window is opened.
Bulk Edit Tickets¶
Select tickets and then press “Bulk Edit” button to change properties:
If “Apply to all tickets” option is selected, then the change will apply to all tickets, including tickets that are not selected.
