Ticketing Application Overview

Application Sections

Desktop

  • Each application has a application specific Desktop page
  • Multiple desktops can be save for each technician, customized, and swapped
  • Only information within that application is available to present or report via the Desktop

Groups

  • Allows you to view the groups setup in TDX and the members of each group
  • Groups are one type of organizational relationship in TDX that facilitates communication and workflows
    • Example:
      • Danny is a members of the IT Service Desk group
      • Gina is a member of the IT Service Desk group and set as the group's manager (another relationship type)
      • Reports can be set to notify Danny's manager when a ticket he is responsible for reaches a certain age
      • TDX evaluates the primary group for Danny, then the manager for that group to determine the recipient of the report
  • A user may belong to more than one group but can have only one group designated as their primary group

  • Select the checkbox next to one or more tickets in your search results
  • Select the first arrow down button above your search results, then the action you'd like to take - which will be taken on all selected tickets
