Creating Your First Ticket
Tickets are how you help people. Let's create one.
The Quick Version
- Click + New Ticket
- Fill in the basics (Subject, Customer, Priority)
- Add a message if you want
- Hit Create
- Earn 25 XP when you resolve it
Don't overthink it.
The Longer Version (If You Like Details)
Required Fields
Subject - What's the problem? Keep it short. Good: "Login broken on mobile" Bad: "The customer says they can't seem to log in and they tried on their phone"
Customer - Who needs help? Pick from the list or create a new customer on the fly.
Priority - How urgent is this?
- Critical - Everything is on fire. Drop everything.
- High - Important, but not apocalyptic.
- Medium - Normal stuff. This is most tickets.
- Low - Nice to have. Do it when you have time.
Optional Stuff
Tags - Categorize your tickets. Makes reporting easier later.
Initial Message - Jump-start the conversation with context.
Attachments - Screenshots, logs, whatever helps.
The Ticket Lifecycle
Open → You're working on it Pending → Waiting on the customer Resolved → Fixed! Waiting for customer confirmation Closed → Done. Victory. +25 XP.
Pro tip: Don't leave tickets in Resolved forever. If the customer doesn't respond in a few days, close it. You did your job.
