Applying Priorities to Tickets

Default Priority

When creating a ticket, the default priority is set to “Low.” However, users/admins/Support Agents can choose a different priority during ticket creation if the priority field is added to the ticket form. You can add the priority field to the ticket form from Support > Custom Fields > Ticket Form Fields > Add New > Select Priority.

However, Admins can choose a default priority from Support > Custom Fields > Ticket Fields > Priority > Edit > Select Default field > Submit.

Priority Change After Ticket Creation

Admins and support agents can change the priority of a ticket after creation to adapt to evolving circumstances.

Managing Priority Visibility

Agent and User View

• Admins and support agents can view the priority on the individual ticket page.
• Customers cannot change the priority after creating the ticket. You can enable the widget for customers from Support > Settings > Ticket Widgets > Ticket Status > Show Priority to customer > Enable.

Widget Configuration

To enable the priority widget on the individual ticket page:

1. Navigate to Support → Settings → Ticket Widgets.
2. Enable the “Ticket Priority” widget.
3. Set permissions under “Allow for roles.”

Now, users, agents, and admins can easily track and manage ticket priorities through the intuitive SupportCandy interface. This customization ensures a seamless and efficient ticketing experience tailored to your requirements.
